Arguably, the most important reference work in temperance history is the
Standard Encyclopedia of the Alcohol Problem, 6 vols., ed. Ernest Hurst
Cherrington (Westerville, Ohio: American Issue, 1925-30), which tried to
cover the entire world.  Would it be worth the trouble of somebody to scan
it and place it on the Web?  A number of larger reference works published
early in the 20th century are available on the Web.  What would be the
problems?  What would be required to post the Standard Encyclopedia?  Is
the print version readily available to researchers?
