Before and much before AA

Volume 3, no. 5 (Oct//Nov./Dec. 2007) of CASQ: Culture, Alcohol and Society Quarterly Newsletter of the Kirk/CAAS Collection of Brown [University] was published in March 2008. Its principal focus is on the immediate predecessors of Alcoholics Anonymous, but there also is a brief installment in the continuing CASQ series on the Washingtonians, remote ancestors of AA. By the way, CAAS are the initials for Brown University's Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies. Brown's resources for the study of alcoholic drink, particularly anti-drink movements, were strengthened by the gift in the mid-1990s of the Chester H. Kirk Collection on Alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous. For more, see here.
