Hi Reader! I recently formed a new cultural nonprofit: “George Moore Interactive.” My aim is to digitize a fascinating Irish author who is largely neglected or forgotten these days: George Moore (1852-1933). Digitizing Moore may launch him anew in the 21st Century.

Post by post, I’ll describe steps that culminate in a launch. The project is a huge undertaking on a wee budget. Risky and unprecedented I guess, yet doable and worth doing. A kind of intellectual moonshot.

But I’m not leaving home without you! I invite you to subscribe so you’ll be notified when I post. There’s a box for that at the bottom of this page. When you read news that prompts a question or suggestion, give me a shout on the Contact page.

Bit of background: I started reading and collecting George Moore in the early 1970s. Full-time primary research on his life and work continued until the mid 1980s. That’s when I rappelled down the Ivory Tower for a career in educational technology and entrepreneurial business.

Ever since I have collected (though not researched) Moore. I now have about 500 publications, manuscripts and artworks, and my Moore collection is still growing. I catalog everything in Libib.

For years I wondered: would I someday, somehow resume the research? I was originally motivated by a personal vision for literature, art and history long before the ways to pursue it even existed. Today those technical ways not only exist; they’re well lit and paved, signposted and accessible to a degree that continually amazes me.

The posts on this blog will explain what all this means. I’d like you to keep tabs on me and share your thoughts from time to time.
