When James Black died in 1893 his larger personal collection of temperance literature went to the National Temperance Society. Perhaps lacking the room for the collection or perhaps wanting it to be more easily accessible, the Society then gave it to the New York Public Library (in 1918, if my memory serves me). When I consulted the collection, I did so at the Annex and by requesting individual items as collected in the huge printed catalog of the NYPL. By the way, this printed catalog can excite any reseacher (for instance, pages of items under the heading of International Order of Good Templars). Unfortunately the catalog does not tell the prospective reader which years of a serial are available. Unfortunately too, the NYPL online catalog does not include older materials but only acquisitions since the publication of the hundreds of volumes of the printed catalog.
