| Description |
It has been 26 years since UCL Library Services last held an exhibition about Charles Darwin, on that occasion marking 100 years since his death. The extensive catalogue prepared by Richard Freeman then has been a rich source of information for this new selection. The Darwin200 programme of events, marking the bicentenary of Darwin's birth and 150 years since the publication of On the origin of species, provides a fresh opportunity to showcase material held by UCL Library Services Special Collections, which include the personal libraries and papers of Sir Francis Galton and Karl Pearson. The items selected for this exhibition reflect Darwin's life, work and the influence of theories of inheritance and evolution on his contemporaries and successors, including eminent UCL people. |
