Some of the notes of Charles Darwin were first put on-line in October 2006. Today they become more complete with the addition of the first draft of the book which changed the world’s attitude to evolution. The draft notes are among 20,000 archive items created by the 19th Century naturalist during his lifetime, which include the first draft of his theory of evolution, notes from the voyage of the Beagle and Emma Darwin’s recipe book. They were previously only available to scholars at Cambridge University’s library. The website of Charles Darwin’s Papers On-line is here and a good place to start browsing is this page. Enjoy!
