There is an Edward Lear Society formed in 2014. The purpose of the Society is to advance knowledge and education and to preserve and protect all matters in connection with the Heritage, Writings, Work and Art of Edward Lear. Its website is at www.edwardlearsociety.org/
Links to the sites of eight public art galleries and institutions which hold Lear works on Mount Athos are in the introduction to the Pictures tab on this site.
The Society of the Friends of Mount Athos is dedicated to the study and promulgation of knowledge of the history, culture, arts, architecture, natural history, and literature of the Orthodox monasteries of Mount Athos, and to the promotion of the religious and other charitable work of the Holy Community and the monasteries, both those located on Mount Athos, and those elsewhere which are dependent or connected in some way with Mount Athos. - http://athosfriends.org/
There are numerous photos of present day Athos on the web, but one Dutch-run blog probably has more text and pictures than anywhere else - https://athosweblog.com/
