Darwin Goes Digital for 150th Anniversary of "On the Origin of Species"

Today's the day—the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, the most famous work of the great 19th century naturalist. And to mark the occasion, the Darwin Manuscripts Project is uploading Darwin's original drafts—10,000 pages worth—into an online archive. Look for the material to go online later today. The collection includes 34 of the original 36 draft leaves of the book, according to editor David Kohn.
