1. A huge project I've been working on for actually the last couple of years has been the digitization and preservation of some very rare films that record some interviews and footage of Spiritualists in Rochester. Most particularly, Rev. Marion Newbie from the Church of Divine Inspiration. I've been working on this with the Rochester Spiritualist Society, as well as some other wonderful individuals and organizations, and hopefully I'll be able to write more about that as well as get some of the archived film out there within the coming year.
2. I've documented some of my Spiritualist Books on my personal Instagram but I've decided that some of the books should be posted on here as well, as several of them were either authored by Spiritualists from Rochester, or about Spiritualists from Rochester. I've also come across a few texts that are in the public domain but are not easily available, and I think one of my first projects for the upcoming year will be to actually post the full text of some of those documents up here.
3. There are a few Spiritualist books that I have in my collection that are either out of print or are unpublished manuscripts, I've been slowly working on looking into getting some of these either printed or published both to help preserve them but also just because the texts are extremely interesting and still useful for those who are interested in Spiritualism. I know this is a bit vague, but I will comment on this more with time so stay tuned.
4. I actually need to work on updating and organizing some of my old posts on here. I wrote a few of them when I had just started this project and had much more limited access to archives than I do at the moment. I had begun editing a few of them in the past but hopefully will get most of the older posts updated and organized better.
So for those who continue to read this blog thank you so much! There will be more to come, thank you for reading!
