Dundee Gospel Temperance Union

These documents are associated with the Dundee Gospel Temperance Union. The card is an invitation to the Annual General Meeting, and the cashbook was to be used to record the collection of monies for an appeal for £400.

The visit by Francis Murphy, the founder of The Blue Ribbon Movement, an American society which promoted the anti-alcohol ideals of Temperance and encouraged people to find pleasure and enjoyment in other, Christian activities, had inspired campaigners in Dundee.

The Lamb Collection contains a vast array of documents and books relating to Dundee. A. C. Lamb was inspired to collect material after the city's historic centre was demolished in 1871. It has been added to ever since it was presented to Dundee Public Libraries by Edward Cox in 1901.
