Social media are so much on our minds that I can't resist mentioning one platform renowned for its civility and generosity: VICTORIA, a forum for discussion of any aspect of Britain and its empire in the long (1780-1918) 19th-century

VICTORIA welcomes new members. Made by and for Victorianists, it's a great place to discuss teaching or research or what's new in the field.
The list turns 30 next year & its archive makes for a fun browse. #Victodons #VictorianStudies
@patrickleary I was first introduced to the List as a masters student and will never forget how kind and helpful everyone was! The digest is always such a welcome addition to my inbox. Academia would be a much poorer place without!
@patrickleary I've felt privileged to be a member of this wonderful list for many years now. Patrick's firm (but most gentle) touch has made it a great source of information and a most effective meeting place for those needing help and those who so willingly seem to enjoy giving it. To independent scholars like myself, working on their own and who can sometimes feel isolated, it is an indispensable welcoming lifeline. It cannot be praised too highly.
