The ATHG listserv group is sponsored by the Alcohol and Temperance
History Group, an international scholarly society organized about
fifteen years old.  It publishes the SOCIAL HISTORY OF ALCOHOL REVIEW
twice yearly.  It also holds paper-reading sessions concurrently with
larger scholarly organizations.  For instance, it sponsored several
sessions at the American Historical Association meeting in Chicago
last January and will present two sessions at the American
Association for the History of Medicine, Pittsburgh, 11-14 May 1995.
