The Memoirs series changed names frequently, paralleling the subtle name changes that the Center of Alcohol Studies underwent in the 1940s. Starting out as Memoirs of the School of Alcohol Studies, it later changed to Memoirs of the Section on Alcohol Studies, and finally Memoirs of the Section of Studies on Alcohol. 

These names cover a series of six monographs designed to serve as another medium for disseminating the same or similar information that was published in the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol (QJSA).

Bonus* - Alcohol and creative work, part 1: Painters. By Anne Roe, PhD *The title "Alcohol and creative work" was listed as 'In preparation' to be included among the Memoirs series, but was apparently never added. However, in 1946, Dr. Roe published "Alcohol and creative work, part 1: Painters," in the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, which may have been the result of that study. No further installments in this series were published.
