It&#8217;s part of the new Long cache deposited at the John Hay Library, and apparently it&#8217;s largely new here&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A couple of excerpts from this letter were published in <em>Selected Letters<\/em> I, but it is not yet available in the Brown Digital Repository, which means that except for a very small handful of people, you are among the first to experience the complete version since Frank Belknap Long opened the envelope 98 years ago!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The reading is followed by a good interview with the John Hay librarian in charge of the Lovecraft materials. It&#8217;s revealed that the collection has un-digitised collections from the Lovecraft Circle, and they welcome endowments specifically targeted at Lovecraft and the Circle (which, I guess, might enable scanning). It seems they can&#8217;t dip into the general university funds to pay for such things, and Special Collections relies on endowments and donations. <\/p>\n<p>The S.T. Joshi Fellowship at Brown is revealed to have re-opened to scholars. That was mentioned in the podcast as being &#8220;1st October&#8221;, but it seems this was a slip of the memory. <a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/joshi\/\">The S.T. Joshi Endowed Research Fellowship<\/a> Web page states 1st November 2022, so there&#8217;s still time to apply. A point to keep in mind for applications is that Brown is said (in the interview) to favour applications to work with un-digitised areas of collections. It was thus interesting to hear that they have un-digitised Circle materials, and also one of the world&#8217;s largest collections of Silver Age U.S. comics, in that respect. So potentially one might track the early emergence and evolution of Lovecraftian themes in comics.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor revealed in the interview is that, as of NecronomiCon 2022, scanning of the new Long letters has not yet started. So presumably they won&#8217;t be arriving online very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Voluminous podcast reads a Lovecraft letter to Frank Belknap Long, 25th February 1924.
