Department of Digital Humanities, University of Cologne Hosted by DH-Cologne www.dhhumanist.org Submit to: humanist@dhhumanist.org Date: 2022-04-19 06:40:04+00:00 From: John van Wyhe <jmv21@FASTMAIL.CO.UK> Subject: Darwin Online release on 140th anniversary of Darwin's death To mark the 140th anniversary of Darwin's death in 1882, the Darwin Online project has transcribed c.100 items from the Darwin family's collection of letters and telegrams received from relatives, friends, contemporaries and institutions. The messages expressed grief and sorrow, offered condolences and tributes to the scientific figure they saw as having transformed our understanding of the living world. Many of these messages contain intimate and personal reminiscences by the writer- providing never before published details about Darwin and his contemporaries. http://darwin-online.org.uk/whatsnew.html -- Dr John van Wyhe Department of Biological Sciences, Fellow of Tembusu College, National University of Singapore Director of Darwin Online http://darwin-online.org.uk/people/van_wyhe.html _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://dhhumanist.org/Restricted List posts to: humanist@dhhumanist.org List info and archives at at: http://dhhumanist.org Listmember interface at: http://dhhumanist.org/Restricted/ Subscribe at: http://dhhumanist.org/membership_form.php
