From extreme makeovers to diet crazes to workout fads, our society is obsessed with looking and feeling good. But this quest for physical perfection is nothing new - and WPA's footage proves it! Take a look back at some of the more bizarre things people have tried in the name of health and beauty.

Rare gems at WPA include a set of instructional hairdressing films from the 1960s and 1970s, exercise material ranging from showgirls to senior citizens dating back to the 1920s, and footage on a low-carb diet theory from the 1950s.

So when you think of looking good, think of WPA!
