Darwin Correspondence Project - available online

The Darwin Correspondence Project was founded in 1974 with the aim of locating, researching and publishing the complete letters of Charles Darwin. Following a pilot project, the remit was further extended and now also includes letters written to Darwin.

The Darwin Correspondence Project’s archive of letters is now fully available online. The website features a full-text searchable database of over 9,000 letters and provides a comprehensive overview of Darwin’s correspondence. New letters continue to be discovered and are regularly added to the database.

The website also includes a content area looking in detail at Darwin and religion, giving valuable insight into the ongoing debate surrounding creation and evolution. Towards the end of this month a second content area covering Darwin and science will become available looking critically at Darwin’s scientific attitudes and ideas.
