Sir Isaac Newton's papers go online

In 2010 Cambridge University Library started a project "digital library for the world". The project is financially supported by the Polonsky Foundation, a charity that promotes internatioanl educational projects. 


The library started to  digitize "some of the greatest books in existence", including the papers of Isaac Newton.


The notebooks in which Sir Isaac Newton worked out the theories on which much classical science is based have been put online.


Other works which will become part of the digital library include the university's Charles Darwin collection.
