Regarding last week's item on Emperor Norton and his seal, John Lumea writes:
Thanks so much for picking up my recent piece for The Emperor's Bridge Campaign, on David Hutchinson's donation of Emperor
Norton ephemera to the Odd Fellows. I'm still fascinated by that discovery.
Our bridge-naming project now is positioned as more of a "Campaign within the Campaign." We've been building out a
larger cultural-historical mission that includes a variety of projects intended to honor the life and advance the legacy of the
Emperor.
John is the President of the organization promoting the legacy of our favorite eccentric, Norton I, Emperor of the United States and
Protector of Mexico. Below is a list of their current projects, all quite worthy. Bibliophiles and researchers should take note of their
Biographical Reprint Project, which will revive two long out-of-print classic book-length biographies of Emperor Norton. -Editor
- Historical Sources Project
- OCR Correction Project
- Historical Mapping Project
- Art, Music & Ephemera Project
- Emperor's Birth Date Research Project
- Biographical Reprints Project
- Project to Name the Bay Bridge for the Emperor (Too)
- Public Sculpture Project
