Biographical Note

Margaret Taylor Hance, Phoenix mayor and political organizer, was born in 1923 in Spirit Lake, Iowa, and moved to Arizona in 1926. She attended the University of Arizona from 1942 to 1944, and received a Bachelor of Arts from Scripps College of Claremont, California in 1945. Hance was widowed in 1970. She had three children: Richard, Ted, and Galen Stallman.

Hance was a member of the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Board from 1967 to 1972 and a member of the Phoenix City Council from 1973 to 1976. At the close of her Council membership, she was serving as acting mayor. Hance was elected mayor in 1976 and stepped down from that post in 1984 to become a manager of Ronald Reagan's presidential re-election campaign. She performed a similar service during George Bush's presidential election campaign of 1988.

While pursuing her public duties, Hance also produced public affairs documentaries for television from 1967 to 1969 and a travel program for radio from 1971 to 1975. She was also a director of the Valley National Bank.

Hance has been a member of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, the Presidential Federalism Advisory Commission, the Arizona Justice Planning Supervisory Board, the community advisory board of the Salt-Gila Flood Control Study, the United States Conference of Mayors, the National and Arizona Leagues of Cities and Towns, and the National Conference of Republican Mayors and Elected Municipal Officials. She was the recipient of the Don Bolles Memorial Award in 1978, the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Award for Volunteerism in 1980, and an honorary Doctor of Laws from Eureka College, Kansas, in 1989.

Scope and Content Note

The Margaret Hance Photograph Collection contains over 1400 loose photographs of various sizes in addition to several photo albums. Although most of the photographs date to the years Hance served as the mayor of Phoenix (1976-1984), some of the collection also represents the years she served as a presidential campaign manager to Ronald Reagan and George Bush. This collection was received in four boxes and has been processed as follows.

Boxes 1 through 3 contain miscellaneous photographs that focus on Phoenix City Council events and Mayor Hance. These photographs have been arranged and foldered according to event when possible. Photographs of unidentifiable events were grouped and described according to the scene (ie. signing proclamations) when similar images existed. All other photographs have been foldered in groups of approximately ten and identified as "miscellaneous." Some of these photographs are dated, but dates are not listed in the finding guide, as they do not pertain to the arrangement.

Box 4 contains Hance's photo album from the Phoenix City Council delegation to Taiwan. The pages of this album have been cut from its binding, labeled, and foldered separately.

The photographs found in boxes 5 through 8 were originally part of the Margaret Hance Papers and are cross referenced with the manuscript collection. These photographs have been arranged and foldered according to their cross reference folder, which is noted in the finding guide. If a photograph relates to a specific document, the name of the manuscript appears in the folder description. Photographs that do not relate to documents are described by event when possible or labeled as miscellaneous.

Box 9 contains a photo album given to Mayor Hance by General Dynamics Electric Boat Division to commemorate the launching of the USS Phoenix.

Box 10 is an oversized box containing Mayor Hance's photo album from the Phoenix City Council delegation to Japan. In addition, this box contains various oversized photographs, many of which have previously been matted or framed. Folders are described according to the event photographed when possible.

Series I: Miscellaneous Photos of Phoenix City Council Events and Mayor Hance
