Hi everyone: Our panel at the AHA/ATHG meeting went well, and was Attended by quite a few people. In anticipation of next year's deadline, I'd like to try to organize a panel for the Seattle meeting on gender, drinking, and violence. i have a couple of people in mind. Anyone else interested? We have to move quickly, as the deadline is Feb 15. On another front, has anyone used the Black Temperance Collection at the New York Public Library? I looked into it while there, but the reference librarian I spoke with told me that much of it was in storage. Due to budget cuts, there is insufficient staff to make it accessible (get it from the annex to the main library in a timely fashion). It appears to be a huge and very rich collection. Any suggestions? Scott *********************************** Scott C.
