Charles Darwin Letters

Of the many thousands of letters that Charles Darwin wrote during his lifetime, over 7,000 are kept in various libraries around the world. The Woodward Library at the University of British Columbia is in possession of two groups of these letters. The first, numbering about 40 letters, is drawn from Darwin's correspondence with Jim Scott Burdon Sanderson about the two scientists' research on insect-eating plants. The second, a group of about 80 letters, part of the Fox/Pearce (Darwin) Collection - 1821-1884, details observations of the natural history of insects, birds, and eggs. The letters have been scanned and uploaded to the library's website, where readers may zoom in on interesting tidbits, read about the collection, and explore the life and times of this world-renowned naturalist. The Additional Resources section is also well worth a look, providing links to related projects, such as the Darwin Correspondence Project and the Darwin Manuscripts Project.
