Material Detail

Digital access to all of the 34,643 folios that deal directly with the theory of evolution. The site contains all Darwin’s botany and zoology manuscripts and embraces all those on human evolution. We are now working to digitize and edit the remaining documents, which deal primarily with the Beagle voyage and geology.

The Darwin Manuscripts Project (DMP) is the only site to publish high-resolution color images and insists on only publishing transcriptions of Darwin’s difficult handwriting that are rendered to the high standards of modern textual editing. The Darwin Manuscripts Project is based in the Research Library of the American Museum of Natural History.
