Charles Darwin’s entire personal library is online after an 18-year effort. Most is in English but some is in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
An “eclectic” collection, it includes “the first known photograph of bacteria.”
“The 300-page catalogue published by Darwin Online details 7,400 titles across 13,000 items including journals, pamphlets and reviews.”
