"These are particularly exciting times for research into the culture and society of nineteenth-century Britain and its empire.  Thanks to newly accessible sources and new methods of exploring and sharing them, the immensely varied activities of today’s busy researchers are revealing just how much we have yet to learn and understand about this pivotal period despite decades of intense scrutiny."

"The aim of the Victoria Research Web is to assist scholars, at whatever stage of their studies, in making their way through the complex and ever-changing landscape of research resources pertinent to the long nineteenth century. The various sections of the VRW are intended to supply advice and links to help Victorianists find the practical information that they need to do their work, whether it's an online database, an archive catalogue, a bibliography, a listserv address, a cheap place to stay in London, or a journal's submission guidelines."

"Some of these resources -- such as the popular guide to Open Access 19th-century Periodicals, the dated but still useful VanArsdel bibliography of periodical research, Sally Mitchell's introduction to researching Victorian fiction, and the Weedon guide to using Victorian publishers' records -- are hosted here exclusively.  VRW is particularly proud to host "At the Circulating Library: A Database of Victorian Fiction, 1837-1901," Troy Bassett's indispensable bibliographical database of Victorian novels and their authors, now amounting to many thousands of titles and names."

"Appearing here, too, is the popular VRW guide to planning the research trip to Britain.  The Curran Index, which identifies the authors of thousands of unsigned articles, reviews, stories, and poems in the 19th-century periodical press, was begun here at VictorianResearch.org and now resides at its own domain, edited by distinguished historian Martin Hewitt and supported by the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals. An interactive database for exploring the archives of the long-running VICTORIA discussion group puts at your fingertips over thirty years' worth of discussion by Victorianists around the world."
