John Hunt retired from the University of Montana in 2020 after teaching works of Renaissance, modern, and medieval literature for more than three decades. He designed the site and for nearly fifteen years he has been happily diving into the luminous obscurities of Joyce's text. Having written more than 1,000 notes, he hopes to live long enough to complete what he knows is an endless task. He lives in Missoula.

Many others have contributed to the Joyce Project, to varying degrees and in various ways: consulting, writing or collaborating on notes, developing software, proofreading, contributing photographs. Some of their brief biographies below have not kept up with the passage of time. There are two alphabetical lists here, the first acknowledging substantial and continuing work, the second for briefer and more limited contributions.
