The EDWARD GOODMAN VIRTUAL ARCHIVE
On February 20, I posted my obituary of Ted Goodman who died on February 15. His funeral was held at Redstone Cemetery on February 29. He was buried.
As I pointed out therein, the British Prudery Archive was set up on his suggestion. Today I have renamed it The Ted Goodman Prudery Archive in his honour. It remains a separate directory on my main website. Realistically I cannot justify purchasing a dedicated domain; I also need to add some more entries to it, and intend to do so over the coming weeks.
On February 26, I also set up The EDWARD GOODMAN VIRTUAL ARCHIVE which is a page on the Internet Archive. I have added a number of photographs and sundry documents including reports from his local press.
With one exception I have also included those of Ted’s blogs I was able to recover from the Wayback Machine. That will be added shortly. I have tried to find the others, so far without success, although that one has been reprinted on at least two other websites so it is not impossible that others have too.
There remains only Ted’s unpublished works, first and foremost his history of the line of descent of the rulers of Britain. This was completed before the death of the Queen but was held up because of the Covid lockdown madness. I need to add some introductory blurb about the author then it will be totally finished. This is a major work, I doubt I will be able to find a mainstream publisher so will probably have to settle for creating a PDF.
Aside from that there are four completed manuscripts which were edited by Nigel Meek. I have copies of these on my hard disk and they will probably suffer the same fate.
Over the next few weeks I will see what else I can find about Ted on-line. I have quite a few personal photographs but will not be adding them although I may set up a separate archive for his mother, who as I have said before was a remarkable woman who lived to a remarkable age.
