The Cambridge Digital Library published high-resolution digitized copies of 12,000 pages written by English naturalist Charles Darwin, author of the theory of evolution. The documents reveal Darwin’s ideas, from his first theoretical reflections aboard the HMS Beagle to his publication of On the origin of species, in 1859.
Darwin’s natural history notebook: 1827-1842. Its content is available in the Cambridge Digital Library website.
The Charles Darwin Papers in the Manuscripts Department of Cambridge University Library hold nearly the entire extant collection of Darwin’s working scientific papers. Paramount among these documents are Charles Darwin’s Evolution Manuscripts. This is a conceptually coherent set of over 30,000 digitised and edited manuscript pages, spanning 1835-1882. These documents are organised into two parts, which will be released in two instalments:Creation of the Origin (November 2014) and Darwin’s Evidence(June 2015).
