Description
The Temperance Collection includes convention programs of the Lancaster County Woman's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.); a history of the group from 1884-1959; Pennsylvania State W.C.T.U. function programs; and a minute book from the Bart Chapter. Included are handwritten notes on some of the conventions, pro-temperance booklets and newspapers (Moral Reformer and American Reformer), and miscellaneous addresses and articles. Of special interest is a booklet "Operation Interview" in which 36 prominent Lancastrians comment on the question, "Is social drinking necessary for success?", and a newspaper article reminiscing on the temperance movement in Columbia, Pennsylvania.

"From Pennsylvania to Waterloo explores the development in the United States and Canada of a distinctive Germanic lifestyle. This volume, illustrated with objects from the acclaimed exhibition Changes in Latitudes, brings together experts from both sides of the border to create an invaluable resource for folklorists, historians, students, collectors and anyone with an interest in folklife, antiques or Pennsylvania-German culture. It will be particularly valuable to anyone interested in textiles, foodways and fraktur. The high quality of the photographs and their reproduction make this book a real treasure." [from AbeBooks]
