this is cool


Darwin to go online


What a cool project! As long as the theocrats currently running America don't block out the site it should provide hours/day/months of fascinating reading and listening. It is not up yet but keep trying.
The project, www.darwin-online.org.uk, is being overseen by Dr John van Wyhe of Christ's College, Cambridge, Darwin's alma mater.

Consisting of 50,000 pages of searchable text and 40,000 images of original publications, a university spokesman said it was "the first-ever undertaking of its kind" and "the largest collection of Darwin's writings ever published".
