The successor organization to the Ohio Anti-Saloon League, the Ohio Council on Alcohol Problems, lent Professor John C. Burnham a set of campaign broadsides from the Ohio prohibition referendum campaign of 1918. Professor Austin Kerr, with the help of Liyan Liu, scanned the materials for use on this site. They may be used in teaching and other not-for-profit applications. So far as we know, these items were never copyrighted; in any case, their age indicates that they are in the public domain. We will appreciate persons using these materials to note that they are "Courtesy of The Ohio State University Department of History." (here for more citation information)

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.
