Dear Ms. Pierce: Your topic sounds very interesting and worthwhile. I'm not sure what you will find at the WCTU archives, but I do know that they are located in a brick building right behind the Francis Willard Home in Evanston. Good luck with your work.

I will soon be beginning my dissertation on anti-alcohol campaigns in Mexico (specifically the states of Oaxaca and Sonora) in the 1920s and 30s. I have already done a lot of preliminary work on the topic, and I feel pretty confident that I know which archives to visit once I get to Mexico (though any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.) I am hoping to get some help, though, on archives to visit in the U.S. I've done some work in the Arizona Historical Society in Tucson and I know that WCTU branches in southern Arizona tried to "proselytize" to Mexican-American women, and perhaps to Mexican women, as well. I would like to find more information about temperance work in Mexico, through perhaps the WCTU, the Anti-Saloon League, the Templars, etc. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Is the main WCTU archive in Evanston, IL? Is it fairly accessible? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Gretchen Pierce
