Explore Victorian Popular Culture

We’re excited to announce Cornell access to Adam Matthew’s Victorian Popular Culture, a unique archival resource for four fascinating areas of 19th British century life: (1) Spiritualism, Sensation & Magic; (2) Circuses, Sideshows & Freaks; (3) Music Hall, Theatre & Popular Entertainment; (4) Moving Pictures, Optical Entertainments & the Advent of Cinema.  In addition to printed and visual material from the period (books, magazines, pamphlets, posters, photographs, postcards, advertising), VPC offers audio and video files as well as 360-degree views of optical devices, toys, and other artifacts of the era.  With its amazing range and depth of heretofore inaccessible material, VPC should prove to be a treasure trove for Victorianists.
