A new year seems an appropriate time to ask ATHG subscribers to share their ideas about research opportunities in alcohol and temperance history: broad and specific topics, underexploited sources, methodologies and approaches. In turn for your participation in this new discussion thread, I make a new year's resolution for 1997, to send my bibliographical items to Scott Haine for the SHAR and not clutter the listserv with them!
