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?
