WELCOME TO THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR VICTORIAN STUDIES

Founded in 2000, BAVS is a multidisciplinary organisation dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge about the Victorian period.

We have over 600 members based in the UK and beyond, drawn both from the academic community and the general public. Our members have a wide range of interests in the nineteenth century, including art history, cultural studies, history, literary studies, performance studies and the history of science.

Each year, we host our flagship annual conference, which brings together scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts from around the world to share their latest research into Victorian studies. BAVS is also proud to support a variety of additional academic events and research projects throughout the year.
