Requests to reproduce manuscripts must be sent to the owner of the manuscript, not to Darwin Online. For those belonging to Cambridge University Library (i.e. those items named CUL-DAR or DAR...) contact Imaging Services photo@lib.cam.ac.uk. See https://imagingservices.lib.cam.ac.uk/
If a work within the scope of Darwin Online is not listed here it is either in progress, a copy of the work has yet to be acquired or reproduction permission was denied. Please help us complete the online collection. See our list of works still needed.
See also the bibliography of works cited in Darwin Online, i.e. in the editorial notes etc.
* Most of these descriptions are based on the 1960 Handlist of Darwin papers at the University Library Cambridge. These are, for the most part, greatly abbreviated descriptions of an entire DAR volume, necessarily omitting mention of most items, here intended to serve as an aide memoire. Volumes containing only correspondence are omitted from this list. Darwin's correspondence is recorded in the Calendar of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin.
All of the items within each DAR volume are individually itemized in the Darwin Online manuscript catalogue. Tens of thousands of manuscript images have been individually named according to their individual catalogue number. Many items are currently available only by browsing through their respective volume in the list above. We are particularly grateful to Sue Asscher, Katie Tabb, Arthur Koehl and especially Christine Chua for renaming thousands of these images.
