Inventory of the Nancy Hanks Papers, 1894-1987 (bulk 1945-1983)
The papers of Nancy Hanks span the years 1894-1987
with the bulk occurring during the 1940s to 1983. Included
are correspondence; minutes; reports; typed, mimeographed,
and printed material; financial papers; clippings; mail
logs; telephone records; calendars; office files;
interviews, questionnaires; and diaries. In addition there
are scrapbooks, pictures, photograph albums, slides, audio
cassettes, videocassettes, and electronic documents. One
series contains awards, honorary degrees, and
memorabilia.
The Nancy Hanks collection is useful as a study of
the development of private and governmental arts programs,
in particular through the National Endowment for the Arts
(NEA), and the personal life and career (1950s-1970s) of an
upper-class single woman. Arts and the federal government
is a recurrent theme. The collection also contains
information about a variety of arts organizations in which
Hanks was involved, often as a board member. Although the
papers here document both her personal and professional
life and present a balanced account, there are relatively
few professional papers in the collection concerning her
early career, 1951-1968.
The private life of Nancy Hanks is chiefly
documented in the Personal Series. Although there are no diaries in the
collection, the letters she wrote to her parents from the
1940s through the 1970s form a type of diary. This
correspondence in the Personal Series often contains a detailed accounting of daily
events from her college years at Duke University, where she
majored in political science, and her early career in
Washington, D.C., through the NEA years. Letters from her
parents reveal their influence on her and often note their
advice to her. Other correspondence is from friends, some
during World War II, including extensive correspondence
from 1946 to 1949 with William A. Carpenter, a former
college friend. Other correspondents were Louis E. Reid,
1955-1961; John F. Watkins, 1949-1950; and Duke University
Dean of Chapel James T. Cleland, 1949-1969. The financial
papers in that series reveal her wealth, such as in real
estate and stocks, as well as her long illness. There are
gaps in the tax returns and bank statements from 1966-1975
and after 1979.
The Duke University,
Bryan and Virginia Hanks,
Larry Hanks, and
Pictures Series all complete the
story. In the Duke University Series, Hanks' financial contributions to the
university are documented, including the Hanks Family
Endowment Fund and the Hanks Family Chapel Fund.
The Bryan and Virginia Hanks Series and Larry Hanks Series contain records of Hanks' parents, Bryan
Cayce Hanks, Virginia Wooding Hanks, and brother Lawrence
(Larry) Wooding Hanks. Included in the Bryan and Virginia Hanks Series are
late-nineteenth century documents, letters of Hanks' father
from France during World War I and from a Colorado
sanatarium, 1931-1932, as well as their courtship letters.
Bryan Hanks was a lawyer in New York, Miami, and Fort
Worth, and became president of Florida Power and Light
Company in 1937. Also there is some Hanks and Wooding
families history, including a few papers of Benjamin
Franklin Wooding, Nancy's maternal grandfather. He was a
medical doctor and inventor who developed an automatic
train control device and automatic block controls for
prevention of railroad accidents. The Larry Hanks Series tells the story of
the early death of Nancy Hanks' younger brother, who was
killed in a truck accident in California in June, 1950 at
the age of eighteen while a student at Southwestern
University.
In this collection it is primarily the NEA portion
of Hanks' career, 1968-1977 during the Nixon and Ford
years, that is represented. However, there is some
information in the letters to Hanks' parents in the
Personal Series which reflects
her early work, 1951-1968. During her tenure at NEA there
were vast increases in NEA funding. The NEA was established
in 1965 with the National Endowment for the Humanities as
components of the National Foundation on the Arts and the
Humanities. In the National Endowment for the Arts Seriesthere is a narrative entitled,
"Ten Years for Tomorrow," which contains much biographical
information about Hanks' NEA years. While at NEA Hanks
delivered numerous speeches; in fact from 1971 to 1974 she
made about 100 addresses. These years are also documented
in the American Film Institute (AFI), Commission on Critical Choices for Americans, and National Council on the Arts series,
which depict related responsibilities of Hanks. AFI files
document the organization's efforts to preserve the
heritage and art of both film and television in America.
National Council on the Arts files reflect programs in the
areas of architecture, dance, education, expansion arts,
literature, museums, music, visual arts, exhibitions, and
theater. The Personal Series,
Pictures Series, and
Awards and Memorabilia Series
provide supplemental information. Letters Hanks wrote to
her parents as well as other correspondence and notes in
the Personal Series relating to
the NEA show her continuing interest in the agency after
retirement. Related papers for the NEA are housed at the
National Archives.
The alphabetical files in the Personal Series document her board
work, memberships, and interest in a variety of
organizations and institutions, including those related to
the arts. They include the Awards in the Visual Arts,
Commission on Museums for a new Century, Continental Oil
Company (Conoco), the Conservation Foundation, the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of the U.S., the
Independent Sector, the Indo-U.S. Subcommission on
Education and Culture, Partners for Livable Places, the
Phillips Collection, Presidential Task Force on the Arts
and Humanities, Salzburg Seminar in American Studies,
Scholastic, Inc., and Board of Regents of the Smithsonian
Institution. One measure of the public recognition of
Hanks' work is the fact that during 1970 to 1981 she
received 27 honorary doctoral degrees. The
National Endowment for the Arts Series office files, Rockefeller Brothers Fund Series, and the Personal Series alphabetical files all
contain single folders for a variety of art, dance, and
music organizations.
Papers relating to Nelson Rockefeller are
scattered throughout the collection. The
Rockefeller Brothers Fund Series
contains material relating to Nelson A., John D., 3rd, and
Laurance. In the Personal Series
is information on Nelson A. Rockefeller and the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund; Hanks' correspondence with her parents also
discusses her relationship with Nelson Rockefeller.
There are papers in the collection that reflect
both Hanks' retirement years as well as activities of
colleagues after her death in 1983. One measure of Hanks'
post-NEA involvement is that in 1982 she was on the boards
of three corporations and a foundation, as well as being
trustee or advisor for 20 non-profit organizations. Related
materials are in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Friends of the Nancy Hanks Center, Inc. series. The papers of the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund, where Hanks was a vice chairman,
do not appear to provide a complete record of her work
there. These files are probably scattered ones that she
kept at home and often were not clearly defined.
The U.S. government designated the Old Post
Office space on Pennsylvania Avenue as the Nancy Hanks
Center. The Friends of the Nancy Hanks Center was formed to
initiate programs commemorating Hanks' life and advancing
her values. Most of the interviews in this series were
conducted by Peter Jessup, but Donna Mitchell conducted a
number of them. Many of these interviews exist as
electronic files and are available to researchers. These
files are listed in the container list for the
Friends of the Nancy Hanks Center, Inc. Series.
A related collection in the Duke University
Special Collections Department is the Philip Hanes
collection. In addition, Hanes material appears in the
Hanks Papers in the Personal Series both under his name and in the Awards in the
Visual Arts folders.

Cassette tapes, videocassettes,
correspondence, questionnaires, and interviews. Major
categories: interviews (transcripts and cassette tapes),
questionnaires, and
Old Post Office building.
Interviews and questionnaires arranged alphabetically by
surname. Categories arranged alphabetically. Some
interviews are restricted.
Many of the interviews in this series also
exist as electronic files dispersed throughout twenty-one
computer disks. Disks were assigned consecutive numbers
reflecting the original order in which they were received.
If an interview has an identical electronic file(s), the
file is included in the alphabetical list below. In such
cases, the electronic file's name is listed, followed by
the year of the interview, then the file's disk
(subdirectory) name.
The contents of each disk was migrated to the
Specoll server. Consequently, the text of these electronic
files is available in correspondingly numbered electronic
subdirectories. Consult a reference archivist for access to
the electronic files.
