Reviews of Published Works

Lyell’s 'Papers' provides a detailed description of several series of archival records, including his correspondence and other documents maintained by him and his team. Purposefully curated to record his work, achievements, and for historical significance, the archive retains Lyell's original organisation where possible, structuring the series accordingly. These papers should be viewed alongside Lyell's publications, notebooks, specimen collection, and offprints, which collectively represent the tools of his trade. A dedicated website https://lyell.ed.ac.uk/ enhances access and research by providing links to online copies of his printed books, digital images of the notebooks, and links to Lyell related material held elsewhere.
