Queen Victoria’s Journals and other Material to go Online
The complete collection of Queen Victoria’s Journals is now available
online. Launched on the anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birthday by HM The
Queen at Buckingham Palace, the new website is part of a digitisation
programme to make historic documents from the Royal Archives widely
available for the first time.
The digitisation of 141 volumes of Queen Victoria’s private diaries has
been carried out as a partnership between the Royal Archives, Bodleian
Libraries at Oxford University and the online publisher, ProQuest. They
can be accessed at www.queenvictoriasjournals.org
In addition to the digitisation of Queen Victoria’s Journals, the Royal
Archives has undertaken the following projects in Diamond Jubilee year:
· An online partnership project has been undertaken with
www.findmypast.co.uk so that the public may trace their ancestors who have
worked for the Royal Household. Free access to the records, which range
from the seventeenth century to 1920, will also be available in the
National Archives’ Reading Rooms in Kew.
· A selection of Queen Victoria’s school copy books will be available
for viewing at the National Archives at Kew for the first time.
· “Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Scrapbook”, a website focused on
Queen Victoria’s life and reign, including her Diamond Jubilee in 1897, was
launched by Buckingham Palace in April 2012. It contains documents from
the Royal Archives, paintings and photographs from the Royal Collection, as
well as audio and film clips. See www.queen-victorias-scrapbook.org
· Over the Diamond Jubilee period, the Twitter account
@QueenVictoriaRI will tweet selected excerpts from Queen Victoria’s
Journals, illustrated by links to photographs, paintings and original
documents. This account will run from 24th May until 7th June.
The release of this material is part of a long term programme to digitise
and open up important historical material contained in this private
archive. It is expected that these documents and materials will be of
general public interest, and of particular value to universities, schools,
academics and authors both in the UK and internationally, and to those
wanting to trace their family history.
