Recommended Website: Voyage of the Vampire

[trouble]

I wanted to call people's attention to a relatively-new blog, Voyage of the Vampire.

The Vampire diary was received as part of a collection donated to the Heritage Hub by Ian Abernethy in 2008. It is one highlight from a rich collection of diaries and papers from Sir George and the wider family.

The idea developed that presenting the diary as a blog would be a way to showcase its potential and provide access to a wider audience. Entries are set up to appear in “real time” so it is as if we are really following George on his Voyage of the Vampire between 1 April 1846 and January 1847.

Thanks for the link! The project reminds me of a similar blog with letters from a British soldier in WWI.

Oh, I hadn't seen that before! *bookmarks*

Truth be told, I am loving the digital age. So many great sources on the net!

Thanks for posting this! I've just posted about it on age_of_sail and set up vampire_voyage_feed for those who'd like to read it via DW.
