Darwin Correspondence Project
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- History of the Project
- The Darwin Correspondence Project was founded in 1974 by an American scholar, Frederick Burkhardt, with the aid of Sydney Smith, a zoologist in the University of Cambridge (UK). They originally set out to locate, research, and publish summaries of, all letters written by Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. (1809-82). Following a pilot project, it was decided to include letters written to Darwin also - an unusual step for a collection of correspondence at the time, and one now widely followed - and to publish complete transcripts in chronological order.
