Scope and Content:

The Mary Louise Hancock Papers contain scattered and incomplete documentation of her professional work in the New Hampshire State Planning Office and activities relating to recreation, the environment, and tourism in the state. She was an ardent Democrat and worked on campaigns for candidates from that party both nationally and locally. She was invited to visit President Jimmy Carter at the White House in 1980 in recognition of those contributions, which continued through the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton in 2016. Hancock was a friend of noted New Hampshire artist and illustrator Alice Cosgrove (1909-1971) and her papers include a small collection of pamphlets and brochures illustrated by Cosgrove as well as photographs of Cosgrove's work. The collection contains nothing about her personal life or service on the many voluntary organization boards and committees with which she was involved.
