Scope and Contents
The Field Division oversees field offices across the United States, which support members within their region. The Division has served a vital role within the organization since the mid-1930s. The series is arranged alphabetically and then chronologically. A significant portion of the materials consists of weekly publications, or information packets, sent to members. This weekly mailing — Field Division Bulletin (1965-1974), Field Flash (1978-1989), and Field Fax (1990-1993) — documented the work NAM was doing, and could include copies of speeches, pamphlets, Congressional bills, or other material.
