WELCOME TO THE ALCOHOL & TEMPERANCE HISTORY GROUP LISTSERV GROUP (ATHG)! Over sixty persons and organizations from eight countries have subscribed to the ATHG listserv group in its first week. ATHG is what is called an unmoderated listserv group. What subscribers post is send directly to everybody on the list. As with all listserv groups ATHG must depend for its viability on the quality and quantity of posts sent by its subscribers. I suggest that some of us begin by offering electronic introduc- tions, telling others how are work relates to thec concerns of the ATHG. As with all posts, please provide a clear subject description and sign the post with your name, institutional or other locational address, and email address. I shall try to help the listserv group in its early days with numerous short posts. By the way, I am a beginner in this role of responsibility for a list- serv group, so please forgive my errors.
