Now based in Nova Scotia, Scroll has come up with a site that aims to please people who like things Spanish. This includes reading today’s online newspapers from all the Spanish speaking countries, linking to websites of Spanish restaurants around the world and working through a mini course on the language.
An increasing international interest in the Spanish language and current events in Latin America was part of the reason why Scroll decided to invest in a website aimed at a specific audience. It also wanted a site that was free of advertisements and free to view without having to log in.
From 1989 to 2001 when based mainly in Calgary, Alberta, and in Belize, “Scroll” reported on oil and gas exploration activities around the world to the major oil companies. Its owner-managers, Marta and Richard Moir, also found time to produce concerts of flamenco music. There is a connection between that music and the new internet site, which includes tracks from the CD that the Moirs released this summer after fifteen years of performing together.
During the years in Calgary, Moir also wrote a series of energy software articles which were published in Oilweek magazine. As he and his wife found that they needed more time to perform flamenco, they closed the oil business side of Scroll after twelve years and concentrated on the artistic side of their lives. Scroll has emerged again as a collector of information, this time with a Spanish emphasis.
Scroll’s new website is called Spanish Cornucopia www.spanishcornucopia.com
