Darwin’s publications – books
In 2018-2019 a project was discussed to build on the Freeman Bibliographical Database. Through the help of a friend from Poland, I bought the 1959 collected works of Charles Darwin in Polish. I scanned the books and gave them to the Darwin Online Project. They went online on 2 Feb 2019. Here are my other contributions to the Database:
