Queen Victoria’s Journals
This unique resource was developed in partnership by the Bodleian Libraries, the Royal Archives and ProQuest is now openly available. It contains all the personal journals of Queen Victoria (141 volumes and over 43,000 pages, currently for the period up to 1840 with further releases planned throughout this Diamond Jubilee year). The journals previously were only accessible by appointment at the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle. In addition to autograph diaries begun by the youthful Princess Victoria, there are edited versions from her later years, redacted and transcribed by the Queen’s daughter, Princess Beatrice. The site includes an interactive timeline, selections from Queen Victoria’s sketchbooks, and essays about aspects of Queen Victoria’s life, authored by Sir Roy Strong, Laurence Goldman and Peter Ward-Jones.
