The original "Internet Documentaries" were first created in the mid 90s by Professor Austin Kerr who understood the educational usefulness of the Internet early on. The collection grew to some 17 documentaries, many of them produced by Professor Kerr himself, and included the popular Prohibition documentary Temperance and Prohibition.
