Acknowledgements

We are extremely grateful to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (USA), the Wallace Centenary Celebration (USA), and the John Templeton Foundation (USA) for generous grants which made the Wallace Correspondence Project possible. We are also very grateful to SeaTrek Sailing Adventures (Bali), Prof. Paul Herrling and Dr Arthur E. Bogan for generous donations to the project, and to London's Natural History Museum and the Charles Darwin Trust for hosting the project during Phases 1 and 2 respectively.

We would like to thank the following people for their invaluable contributions to the project:

The Wallace family - especially Richard, the late John Wallace and William ("Bill") Wallace for help in a diverse range of ways.

Sir David Attenborough and Bill Bailey for agreeing to be the project's patrons.

James Moore (UK) - for advice on the extent and distribution of Wallace correspondence. By sharing results from his research over many years, he saved the project much time and effort.

Richard Milner, for much support and help and for providing funding through his Wallace Centenary Celebration project.
