The East Liverpool Historical Society is happy to announce that the book, Hills and Kilns has been digitized and is now on CD. The Society commissioned William C. Gates Jr. to write the book in the 1980s. It was originally published in 1985.
Out of print for many years, copies of the book have been very difficult to find. Copies which have become available on occasion often sold for tremendously inflated prices.
The digitizing project was a joint effort by the East Liverpool Historical Society/KSU-EL Digital Archive Project
The book is valuable for it's indepth look at the history of East Liverpool, Ohio and the pottery industry in this country, which was centered in East Liverpool. So it has appeal to a wider audience.

Hyperlinking, or as it is also called framing, without permission is not permitted.
Legally speaking framing is still in a murky area of the law though there have been court cases in which framing has been seen as violation of copyright law. Many cases that were taken to court ended up settling out-of-court with the one doing the framing agreeing to cease framing and to just use a regular link to the other site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society pays fees to keep their site online. A person framing the Society site is effectively presenting the entire East Liverpool Historical Society web site as his own site and doing it at no cost to himself, i.e. stealing the site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society reserves the right to charge such an individual a fee for the use of the Society’s material.
