[Editor's note: This website and all of the links no longer work. They appear to have gone to that Great Internet In the Sky. If you know where I can reconnect, please let me know.]
I ran across a little treasure trove of Victorian culture. Sohie Lagace is an engineer by day and a role player by night. One her favorite games is Castle Falkenstein with its Steampunk setting. She has a webpage called "The Salon" that has links to all sorts of Victorian fashion, etiquette, culture, language and technology. Here are just a few of the links:
Victorian Slang Glossary Speech of the Lower Classes
How to Speak Proper Slang for the Upper Classes
The Library Victorian Science, technology, military history, etc.
The Salon is a labyrinth well worth exploring. (Don't worry, you won't get lost.)

[6-28-2014 update: The Salon seems to have vanished. The first three sites I mention are still there.]

Mostly Victorian
Moira Allen shares her vast collection of articles and illustrations from Victorian books and magazines. She has scanned them to pdfs for you to download and has divided them up into categories. Now instead of reading what modern people say about Victorians, you can read what the Victorians said of themselves.
