Victorian Lives
Welcome to Victorian Lives - a website celebrating the lives of 19th century staff from King's College London. The individuals include academics, domestic staff, administrators and technicians and represent a fascinating cross-section of Victorian society.
We preserve the heritage of King's College London and the archives include an extensive collection of correspondence containing some letters of application and resignation, lists of former staff, minute books, College Calendars and other publications all of which were used by the volunteers to compile summary biographies.
The research for this website was undertaken by a group of volunteers from the University of the Third Age led by Maggie Gravelle and is our latest in a series of Shared Learning Projects with the U3A.
