A GMi logo at the top of every page links to an archive of monthly newsletters. The newsletters report progress on this website and discuss aspects of George Moore’s literary legacy. Subscribers receive email notifications of each new post. Visitors are encouraged to subscribe!

This pillar of the GMi website publishes all of the art and literary criticism in these books: Martin Luther, Literature at Nurse, Confessions of a Young Man, Impressions and Opinions, Modern Painting, A Preface to The Bending of the Bough, Avowals, and Conversations in Ebury Street.

I edited and published Apple Books of all of these publications. GMi Apple Books are cataloged in the GMi Shop.

The Aesthetics pillar also publishes most of the uncollected art and literary criticism in numerous vintage periodicals.

I have still to edit and publish more than 80 uncollected essays of art and literary criticism that have never been digitized. I published a list of these essays in a blog post and I am seeking a grant to fund travel to the UK to scan the essays for GMi.

Under the heading Pictures of George Moore, I curated more than 170 artworks and photographs.

Under the heading Pictures of Family Members, I published a Moore family tree, the Moore coat of arms and motto, and I curated several portraits of kin as far back as great grandparents.

Under the heading Pictures of Friends and Associates I curated portraits of 15 artists who drew or painted George Moore,16 publishers of his books, and 23 girlfriends. My attention will soon turn to a new group named Cronies (male friends).

Under the heading of Places, I curated more than 70 pictures of homes and hotels that George Moore “wrote from” (i.e. used as a return address in letters). To complete this gallery, I have begun adding notable places he visited but didn’t write from; a spectacular example is Westport House, that was painted by his great grandfather in 1761. I also added Ashbrook House, the original Moore manor in Ireland dating to the 1690s.

Under the heading of Illustrations. I have begun posting pictures that appeared in books and articles of George Moore. All of the engravings by Stephen Gooden in four books by George are here.

To the degree possible, my galleries show how people and places looked when George Moore knew them. There are some recent photographs of buildings that have not changed much since he was present.

I transcribed, edited and published the creative content of many books in the Worlds pillars of this website and as ebooks in the Apple Books store. All GMi editions are cataloged in the GMi Shop.

In addition to digital chapters and ebooks, I have also published PDFs of each first edition that may be downloaded from GMi and then uploaded to AI research apps (e.g. Notebook LM) for assisted analysis and interpretation.

My early reliance on problematic digital scans in Google Books has been superseded with higher-quality scans that I make with my own CZUR book scanner, which I use in conjunction with Abbyy FineReader PDF.

I scanned my lengthy doctoral dissertation of 1980. It includes diplomatic transcriptions of over 900 letters written from 1863 to March 1901. All of those letters have now been curated for GMi.

My editorial practice for letters on GMi is not diplomatic transcription. Instead I promote readability for humans and facilitate machine learning.

For these reasons, I normalize page layout and typography. I silently correct holographic text for paragraph breaks, capitalization, spelling, and punctuation. I insert links and bracketed text to clarify meaning. I add explanatory headnotes instead of footnotes.

The location of manuscript source material is appended to each letter on GMi so that scholars can easily find it. The owners of manuscripts with contact information are being listed in the Collections pillar.

My personal archive of scans and photoduplicates is also available to those who wish to view source material.

Moving beyond letters in my dissertation, I am now conducting a census of letters of George Moore 1901-1933 and writing menus of letters for each of those years.

I scanned both of Edwin Gilcher’s bibliographies of George Moore, edited them into a unified text and published it on this website. Kathi Griffin, a colleague in California, has proofread the digital text to assure fidelity with printed material.

Recently I began adding entries to the bibliography that postdate Gilcher’s publications. That work will continue.

I have conceptualized and developed a technical specification for the GMi Discovery System, a multi-faceted search engine that will index the site including embedded Google Docs. The GMi Discovery System will enable the creation of a computer-generated chronology of George Moore’s life and work.

I am currently seeking a small grant to pay for development and implementation of the GMi Discovery System.

In connection with my comprehensive census of the letters of George Moore, I designed the architecture of Collections and am now developing a prototype entry under Institutional Collections.

Once the prototype proves worthy, it will inform a template for other collectors to be listed here.
