he Afterlife of Alice in Wonderland was an exhibit of various editions of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and other Alice-related material. The exhibit included the first American edition of the text (D. Appleton, 1866) and other editions of the original text, including a facsimile edition of the original manuscript, Adventures Underground, which includes Lewis Carroll's own illustrations. Other items on display included later editions and illustrated versions of the book, texts that reference Alice, and material, such as an Alice chess set, teacups, album covers, play scripts and dolls, from popular culture.

This website is a biographical guide to the world of Victorian film. It features 300 biographies of those who, behind and in front of the camera, played a significant part in creating the phenomenon of moving pictures. It is based on the book Who's Who of Victorian Cinema, published by the British Film Institute in 1996. It has been revised throughout, and new entries and background features added, to make the website serve as a reference source to the world of Victorian film and the world as seen through the eyes of the Victorian filmmakers. Victorian film we define as filmmaking in its broadest sense, from the first glimmerings in the 1870s and 80s to the death of Queen Victoria in January 1901.
