About
Charles Darwin generated an enormous written archive and amassed a wide array of specimens and objects during his lifetime. Advances in technology are making it increasingly possible to engage with physical archives in virtual space. This funding paid for further digitisation of Darwin’s Herbarium images, MorphoSource storage and workshop delivery, as well as Exhibit hosting.
