Darwin Manuscript

A page from Darwin’s manuscript for the Origin of Species, the foundation text of evolutionary biology. (Cambridge University Library, DAR 185.109.f6r)

Not only are the stacks of the Museum’s Research Library an invaluable resource to scientists and scholars around the globe, but they are also home to rare treasures like original Audubon mammal folios and Darwin first editions. Join Harold Boeschenstein Director Tom Baione and Director of Darwin Manuscripts Project David Kohn to view items from our Rare Book collections and learn about the ongoing project to make original source Darwin material available to the online world.
