For devotees of the legitimately strange, Charles Fort is a cultural hero for approaching unusual circumstances with an open mind free of superstition. Now a group is hoping to continue his work with a new professional research institute, research collection and museum known as The Charles Fort Institute (CFI)
As a proper institution, CFI will work towards improving the standards of scholarship in our subjects and will speak out for writers and researchers, especially in the pursuit of fair pay, copyright and proper credit. Nor will we shrink from speaking out against attempts to mislead the public through shoddy scholarship, bigotry, deceit, fraud and malice as these demean our profession and confuse the public.
I hope it rains fish the day they open.
