Scope and Content Note

This series consists of printed materials on alcoholic beverage control solicited from all forty-nine other states. The commission used these materials to assist in developing recommendations for legislative and regulatory changes in alcoholic beverage control administration in New York State. The series resulted from a June 1963 letter, sent by the commission to liquor control agencies in other states, requesting information on liquor control in those states.

Files for each state typically contain annual reports of the alcoholic beverage control agency; laws, rules, and regulations regarding alcoholic beverage control administration; trade journals; and price lists and price policy information.

In addition to the files for each state, there are also similar files for the City of Baltimore; District of Columbia; Australia; Ontario, Canada; and the National Alcoholic Beverage Control Association. There is also a file of memorandums summarizing interviews with liquor control officials in other states.
