Cambridge University in the United Kingdom has digitized the works of Charles Darwin, including letters to and from Mr. Darwin. The site provides searchable text as well as high-quality scans of works and manuscripts. Darwin is best known for his monograph, On the Origin of Species (1859), which gave birth to the concept of speciation by natural selection. This online resource is an excellent tool for those in need of primary nineteenth-century science manuscripts.
