Dear Ms. Otto,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the series Lists of Plays, 1936-1938 for the Federal Theatre Project in the Records of the Works Projects Administration (WPA) (Record Group 69) that includes the file Carry Nation by (Frank McGrath), Los Angeles. This file has not been digitized. Please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) at archives2reference@nara.gov for access to these and similar records.

Next, we located the series "Happy Days" Newspapers, 5/20/1933 - 10/26/1940 in the Records of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) (Record Group 35) that includes 2 references to Carrie Nation. We also located the series National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmarks Program Records in the Records of the National Park Service (Record Group 79) that includes 25 references to Carrie Nation and 12 references to Carry Nation which  may be useful in identifying locations where she gave speeches. These records have been digitized and may be viewed online using the Catalog.

You may use the Catalog to explore other records related to Carrie Nation or Carry Nation. Many of these records have been digitized and can be viewed in the Catalog. Please contact the National Archives reference unit listed in each Catalog description with questions about those specific records.
