Charles Darwin News Update:

DATELINE: March 12, 2007 - The personal diaries of Emma Darwin have gone online and span about sixty years of her life. The diaries provide us with a great deal of information on the family life of Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children. The 60 pocket diaries contain appointments, illnesses, family visits, and a wealth of other information on Darwin's personal life. "These books were found in a cardboard box in an old cupboard about 20 years ago," said the director of Darwin Online, Dr John van Wyhe. "People weren't really interested in the day-to-day Darwin then, just the Origin of Species." The diaries are available online at darwin-online.org.uk. Here you will find each page of Emma's diaries scanned and presented in an easy to navigate presentation. NB - Darwin scholars will be most pleased to discover that Emma's handwriting is far more legible than that of her husband, Charles.
