Those with an interest in Victorian history and culture should check out
Prince Albert: His Life and Legacy, a new website from the Royal
Collection Trust that launched in August 2019 in honor of Albert's 200th
birthday. This resource features over 17,500 digitized documents and
photographs, most of which have never been published before. Albert is
best known as Queen Victoria's beloved Prince Consort who died
prematurely in 1861. This project highlights Albert's lasting influence
on British culture and society. For example, the Collections section
offers ample evidence of Albert's patronage of the arts. This included
photography, which was then more commonly thought of as a scientific
tool rather than an art form and medium for documenting history, as
Albert saw it. Also featured here is the art of Raphael, who Albert so
admired that he collected prints and photographs of the Renaissance
master's almost entire body of work, intending the collection "for
public good, rather than private enjoyment, and as a resource for
students." The Explore section offers visitors "specific themes,
biographies, and media that further contextualizes Albert's life and
times," including visual essays and an interactive timeline. This
ongoing digitization project is slated to make approximately 23,000
items available online by the end of 2020.
