Welcome to the University of Iowa “VicWik.” This site is a growing collection of research projects by undergraduates – many of them English majors – who are taking a variety of courses in Victorian literature with Professors Teresa Mangum and Deborah Manion. The site is also a collaboration with Nathan Culmer in the Student Instructional Technology Assistant (SITA) program at The University of Iowa. In this innovative program, undergraduate and graduate students work with faculty members on web- and technology-based projects. We hope that our site will be useful to amateurs, students, and scholars alike. Your comments, questions, and suggestions are welcomed. For more information about this project, please contact Professor Mangum at teresa-mangum@uiowa.edu.
