The collection of Charles Darwin's papers at the University Library
originates in the work of his son Francis, who published two editions
of his father's letters, in 1887 and 1903. For these editions he
collected as many of Charles's letters and papers as possible, which
remained in the family after Francis died. In 1942 the Pilgrim Trust
and the Darwin family gave most of these papers to the University
Library, another portion being given to the museum recently established
at Down House.
