"MANY institutions, organizations and individuals have generously contributed to Darwin Online and its pilot website The writings of Charles Darwin on the web (2002-6). It is a particular pleasure to acknowledge their support, assistance and permissions. Darwin Online simply could not otherwise exist. The Arts and Humanities Research Council has generously provided the primary funding, for three years, to expand the pilot website. The Charles Darwin Trust has provided funds to cover web server costs. Earlier start-up funding was provided, in the form of John van Wyhe's research expenses, by The National University of Singapore and the Open University."
