Support Darwin Online

The funding that supports Darwin Online ends in September 2008. New funding is urgently needed to support the largest and most widely used Darwin resource in history.

Darwin Online is not funded by the University of Cambridge. With further funding Darwin Online can be made more accessible, easier to use and expand in some ambitious and important directions:

Support is welcome from foundations, institutions and individuals. Even small amounts would go directly to making more of Darwin available online. Darwin Online is educational and non-profit.

Help us keep Darwin's work online, for free, for everyone!

With further funding Darwin Online can expand in exciting directions:

• To assemble a complete collection of every edition and variation of Darwin's published works in English and translations in 30 languages in both electronic text and scanned image forms.

• High-resolution colour scanning of Darwin's manuscripts.

• Transcription of Darwin's heretofore untranscribed manuscripts.

• Editorial matter: more informative footnotes, introductions, interlinking, coding of the documents, translation of non-English passages.

• Assemble and digitize all contemporary reviews of Darwin's works, in all languages.

• Identify, assemble and provide online all of the works cited or referred to in Darwin's works.

• Professional web design to make the site more attractive and easier to use. (If you would like to help volunteer please get in touch.)

• You can also help by scanning or lending books or sending photocopies: See our list of works still needed. We welcome 19th century publications discussing Darwin and Darwinism - and secondary literature.
