Any internet-savvy nerd knows their way around various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc. A lot of these internet sources hold typical routine posts and links that we might come to expect - funny/cool videos people have decided to share, lists of books to read, etc. I'd not only like to share some posts and links like that with you, but I'd also like to include some of the unique Steampunk resources I was able to find as I worked on researching for my final project.
List of 50 Steampunk Books - There are plenty of lists like this that exist out there, which include perhaps 50 Classics or 50 High Fantasy Novels or even 50 YA Novels.The whole premise is you check off the ones you've read and get to show off just how much Steampunk Literature you've been able to read. These sorts of resources are sometimes made to show to your friends and family how you are superior in your reading, but this challenge should be something that you do strictly for the fun of it.
Steaming Apparel - This has to be, hands-down, the best Steampunk-related resource I was able to find across all of the internet. There are some great posts about Steampunk costuming for all experience levels, and even some historical information that will help you find what sorts of items you may be looking for with your Steampunk costume. Definitely a place you should check out.
List of Steampunk Works - Maybe you'd like to look into a book, movie, TV show that has been defined by somebody as Steampunk, or at least holds Steampunk elements? This wouldn't be a bad place to start.
Toronto Steampunk Society - They don't have their own website but they do have a Page you can like on Facebook, as well as a group that you can join. Members exist all over the place, including in the Niagara Region. It's worth checking out :)
These are just a handful of helpful resources to help you build your knowledge in a fandom-based way, and I certainly hope they were just that - helpful :)
