Yes I am sure that Bishop's collection is rich. He supplied me with a great number of materials during the course of my dissertation and book research. He had lots of historical material on ASL, WCTU, and Prohibition party -- which were not his central interest -- which is AA and its antecedants. The story was that he acquired the original Anti-Saloon League papers after the Ohio Historical Society completed their microfiliming. Austin Kerr probably knows the details, if any, about that. I am inclinded to believe it as he used to wrap books to me in typescripts by Ernest Cherrington. I still get a mailing from him every Chrsitmas time that focuses on the Sobriety calender. Richard F.
