(http://www.indiana.edu/~victoria/archive.html)

The Victoria Research Web is an offshoot of the VICTORIA discussion list. LikeVICTORIA, VRW is dedicated to the scholarly study of the nineteenth centuryin Britain, and to aiding researchers, teachers, and students in their investigations

of any and all aspects of this fascinating period. The idea behind VRW is to gather together a number of helpful resourcesin one modest set of pages, and to do so without duplicating the materials already available at several fine Websites. Manyof these can be found in the section on other Victorian resources, on their webpage. The VRW is intended to supply ahandy set of tips and links to help Victorianists find the practical information they need, whether it's an archive catalogue,a listserv address, a sample syllabus, or a journal's submission guidelines.
