Darwin Correspondence Project website relaunched November 2009

In celebration of the Darwin Bicentenary the Darwin Correspondence Project has relaunched its website.  The new site contains complete, searchable, transcripts of more than 6000 letters written or received by Charles Darwin, including all the letters from the years up to 1867, published in volumes 1–15 of The correspondence of Charles Darwin (CUP 1985–).   Also available are as yet unpublished letters selected because of their significance — in particular letters that deal with Darwin’s attitude to religion.    Also available are articles, interviews, and links to information on Darwin’s life, his work, and his letters — and special interest sections for schools, colleges and researchers.

See and hear more about the Project through our podcasts:
