Support Darwin Online

Darwin Online has received a generous private donation to continue through September 2009.

Darwin Online is seeking a long-term institutional home. Contact the Director, Dr John van Wyhe, jmv21@cam.ac.uk

Darwin Online is not funded by the University of Cambridge.

Support is welcome from foundations, institutions and individuals. Darwin Online is educational and non-profit.

Help us keep Darwin's work online, for free, for everyone!

With further funding Darwin Online can expand in exciting directions:

• To assemble a complete collection of every edition and variation of Darwin's published works in English and translations in 30 languages in both electronic text and scanned image forms.

• High-resolution colour scanning of Darwin's manuscripts.

• Transcription of Darwin's heretofore untranscribed manuscripts- making the full extant corpus of Charles Darwin electronically searchable.

• Editorial matter: more informative footnotes, introductions, interlinking, coding of the documents, translation of non-English passages.

• Assemble and digitize all contemporary reviews of Darwin's works, in all languages.

• Identify, assemble and provide online all of the works cited or referred to in Darwin's works.

• Professional web design to make the site more attractive and easier to use. (If you would like to help volunteer please get in touch.)

• You can also help by scanning or lending books or sending photocopies: See our list of works still needed. We welcome 19th century publications discussing Darwin and Darwinism - and secondary literature.
