Victorian Sources for Historians Online Course
For family and Social Historians
Build your knowledge of Victorian sources in this ten week online course.
The nineteenth century is a treasure trove of documents relating to the lives of our Victorian forebears. A selection of these sources will be used to provide context and a sense of period, whilst developing our knowledge of what is available from museums, archives, libraries and record offices. During the course we will consider the type of sources available and using a themed approach uncover what life was like in the 19th century, a period that witnessed profound change and development. There will also be an opportunity to apply learning in a small project.
