ABSTRACT
In Victorian studies, we are at a moment when the digital era is pressing us to think about the ways in which we can use technology not only to disseminate our work but also to inform its creation. Drawing on previous work in disability studies and the digital humanities, in this chapter I offer an analysis of the themes of accessibility, interdependence, and care. There has been increasing access to tools and platforms developed with a wide audience in mind and with a low barrier to entry in terms of funding and technological knowledge. Our work in the digital humanities has the potential to make our research in Victorian studies accessible to a broader audience, as both consumers and co-creators of knowledge. Acknowledging our interdependence on each other and technology can help us to see our work in the Victorian digital humanities as a form of care, as we take care of each other as collaborators and our cultural heritage.
