Scope and Content:

The Forum on New Hampshire's Future Records gives a full picture of its goals and activities, from beginning discussions in 1976 to its conclusion in 1982. In a memo from Hugh Gregg in 1976, he notes that after a speech at the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, in which he "expressed deep concern" in regards to changes, particularly in the southern part of New Hampshire, caused primarily by rapid growth that may "threaten...the New Hampshire way of life," he was contacted by others with the same concern. This started the beginning of the Forum. The Forum's activities documented in this collection include articles of agreement, meeting minutes, speeches by members of the Speaker's Bureau, committee records, correspondence, compilation of data through surveys, the distribution of this data, and information regarding the production of the motion picture "Your Town, Your Choice" narrated by Orson Welles. Correspondence and reaction to the film continue in this collection through 1986.
