For those who just have to know.
A mostly scholarly site devoted to the Victorian period. Lots of texts from the period and overviews. Easily sorted by topic. Short on pics heavy on text.

Just finished reading How to be a Victorian, by Ruth Goodman. Not much on Victorian houses but a great read to pick up on the everyday life of three classes of Victorians. It does however put some relavance into our built heritage. Based on British Victorians, the same values were present in Canada, Maybe a little less in America. Highly recommend it for those interested in the social aspect of our homes.
