Biodiversity Heritage Library: Charles Darwin's Library
Posted by Jennifer Eidelman | 14 Jul, 2011
This digital project created by the Biodiversity Heritage Library offers
interested parties a virtual reconstruction of the surviving books owned by
Darwin, and it includes over 330 titles. First-time visitors will want to read
the introductory essay titled "Darwin's Virtual Library: History & Scope"
before jumping into the items here. After this excellent introduction, they
should feel welcome to browse through the available titles in the "Current Book
List" area. The real treat here is the fact that they have included the books
that were most heavily annotated in Darwin's own hand, and visitors can look at
all of his notes at their leisure. The site also includes a detailed
bibliography and a link to the most recent additions. From Scout Report July 08 2011
