who we are

​

Victorian Natural Historian is a community of researchers, interpreters, cosplayers, writers, nature-lovers, and costumers of 19th-century natural history: a time of telescopes, shipwrecks, field notes, adventure, misadventure, terrific hats,

and a craze for ferns.

about me

​

I'm Elizabeth Bastos. I founded Victorian Natural Historian in 2017 because I found myself in my 40s wanting to love what I had loved as a child:


science and dress-up. 

​

I'm qualified to create "#sciart performance 19th-century Victorian lady naturalist cosplay" because I have a background in English, Marine Biology, and Museum Studies, and I am a big nerd.
