--What's New in the Magic Lantern Research Group?
(see The Magic Lantern Society Newsletter 105)
Currently the 'Magic Lantern Research Group' is the most extensive online resource on the Magic Lantern, made available by Kentwood Wells and housed on ZOTERO.
The Magic Lantern Research group is a library and bibliography of resources for magic lantern research.
Suppose you want to read Kircher's 1671 'Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae', we don't have it all on our bookshelves, this is the place to start!
The resource can be accessed at http://www.zotero.org/groups/magic_lantern_research_group
Best viewed with Mozilla Firefox since ZOTERO fluently works together with this browser.
There are too many great sources to sum up, hundreds of 17th, 18th and 19th books, scholarly journal articles, etc. to name but a few key sources.
The group will guide you to online places where you can read these in full, such as GOOGLE BOOKS but also other digital book projects.
… all related to the magic lantern and related topics.
To date, the 'Magic Lantern Research group' has 23 registered members.
I would strongly advise all 537 Visual Media Archaeology' GOOGLE members to register on this most specialized Magic Lantern information source.
But please, keep in touch with this GOOGLE group too J
As far as I understand, the research group is a 'read only' interface.
Please communicate your 'Magic Lantern Research group' discoveries on the 'Visual Media Archaeology' GOOGLE group.
For the first time, a 'worldwide Magic Lantern library' is available at your desktop, tablet or smartphone.
It's always great to consult the original sources, but digitized is a great start and available to everyone …
How to become a member, contact Kentwood Wells @ kentwood.wells@uconn.edu
I added a QR e-mail code for direct download of Kentwood's address onto your smartphone or tablet.
All best,
Thomas
