Many thanks for the further details provided on the ATHG and it's journal SHAR would it be possible to provide the list with the email/mail addresses of the regional specialists. I am a mature student doing a Phd in women in the temperance movement up to the first world was and would be interested to correspond with other researchers in the field. Based in Manchester my work obviously will include developments in the city. The Manchester & Salford Women's Christian Temperance Association ran an Inebriates Home under the provision of the relevant 1868? - 189? )acts. (Sorry don't have the exact dates to hand) I hope this list can flourish and provide us all with a medium for the exchange of information and ideas. Good Luck with the list, Margaret Barrow Margaret Barrow Joule Library UMIST, P.O. Box 88 Sackville St., Manchester M60 1QD Tel +44 61 200 4932 Fax +44 61 200 4941 email address [log in to unmask]
