Revision of Announcing the Alfred Russel Wallace Manuscript Project from Tue, 2023-11-28 17:40

By George Beccaloni, November 2023

The Wallace Correspondence Project (WCP) has not only catalogued and obtained images of all of Wallace's known letters, but also all of his other known manuscripts, artwork etc, plus important documents written by family members. There are a total of 476 of these 'non-letter' manuscripts and while the project has produced preliminary transcripts of all of the letters (which are available online in EPSILON), most for the other manuscripts have not been transcribed. Many of them contain important information about the specimens Wallace collected, lists of names and addresses of his friends and colleagues, details of his accounts, and much other important information about his life and work.
