Recovery History
Books, pamphlets, and archival materials tracing the roots of Alcoholics Anonymous and the broader recovery movement. This collection spans the Oxford Group and early Alcoholics Anonymous influences, the Emmanuel Movement, Temperance and Prohibition-era reform, alcoholism education and psychology, and spirituality and religion in recovery. Items are sourced directly from estates and private collections built over decades, covering the full historical arc from the pre-AA era through the founding years of the program.
