From 1893 to 1933, the Anti-Saloon League was a major force in American politics. Influencing the United States through the printed word and lobbying, it turned a moral crusade into a Constitutional amendment. The League left a legacy of printed material at a site bequeathed to the Westerville Public Library which houses the Anti-Saloon League Museum

A sterling example of the good old-fashioned moral crusade. Of course, we don't have them anymore, do we...?

Just refound this (to coin a neologism). Looks liks it might provide a useful tool for turning primary sources into lesson plans.

Set of collections focussing mainly on US and Ohio history in the C20th.

Not sure if I've already bookmarked another page from this site. It's a repository of European heritage, which for us means sources and images. I think it will become quite a massive repository of sources for all periods and regions of Europe.

Contains a few useful links and is often updated so will just get better and better! (Please forgive my cheerfulness - holidays just started).

Over 1000 photos of Muslims and Christian missionaries working among them in Western China in the 1920s and 1930s form the core of this collection, which is supplemented by several hundred books, pamphlets, broadsides, etc., in several languages.

An obscure topic, however might be useful. Especially given the recent trouble in Western China.
