DIGITAL RESOURCES
- Darwin Correspondence Project (darwinproject.ac.uk): University of Cambridge–based searchable digital archive of the approximately 15,000 letters of Charles Darwin, identified by “DCP-LETT” numbers. The DCP site also includes biographies of correspondents, historical documents, and treatments of Darwin in relation to a range of topics such as family, religion, and research activities.
- Darwin Online (darwin-online.org.uk): Comprehensive digital collection of Darwin’s publications directed by John van Wyhe (National University of Singapore), including books (in all editions), articles, printed letters, and published manuscripts. This site also presents the largest collection of unpublished Darwin manuscripts and private papers, identified by their “DAR” numbers, most made available courtesy of Cambridge University Library.
- Oak Spring Garden Foundation Library (osgf.org/library): Bunny Mellon’s collection of over 19,000 objects, including rare books, manuscripts, and works of art dating back to the fourteenth century. The collection mainly encompasses works relating to horticulture, landscape design, botany, natural history and voyages of exploration. There are also components relating to architecture, decorative arts, and classical literature.
