Lovecraft on the web – a 2010 survey

For those interested in the writer of weird fiction H.P. Lovecraft, I’ve started a new occasional weblog. There you’ll find 250+ freshly gathered and categorised links, which serve as a comprehensive snapshot of ‘Lovecraft on the Web‘ in 2010. Many of these resources are surprisingly hard to track down and are not well interlinked, so it took me quite a while to bring it all together. Those interested in preserving the history of fandom may want to set a web spider to harvest an archive of all the sites.

Added the open books catalog of the University of Michigan Press DigitalCultureBooks catalog to JURN. Sadly the actual full-text contents of the books are stored on a distinctly Google-unfriendly repository, and so can’t be indexed.

“the kind of work done by digital humanists [ i.e.: in the digital humanities ], no matter how useful, interesting, and important, often just can’t be made to fit the traditional definitions of scholarship that are used to determine eligibility for academic career advancement”
