Listen "Museum Chat Live! E602 - Victorian Tweets: Who were the Victorians?"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to a special 3-part mini-series examining the Museum's exhibit Victorian Tweets and the people who inspired it: the Victorians.
Victorian Tweets juxtaposes daily Victorian life found in newspapers, diaries, letters, and ephemera against the modern Twitterverse. The archival documents found in the exhibit and included in the special podcast mini-series are interesting, quirky, mundane, snappy, rude, and pointless: just like Twitter.
As modern, progressive people of the 21st century we enjoy a certain distance from the romanticized and contradictory Victorian period but are we really that different from our Victorian ancestors?
On this first episode of the special podcast series, we'll explore what it means to be Victorian. We'll hear some of the tweets and their original sources on this podcast, read and recoded by some familiar voices of staff and volunteers.
Enjoy the episode.
Victorian Tweets runs through to March, 2021 at the St. Catharines Museum & Welland Canals Centre, which is open to the public by donation.
