Archive set to find a home in Scotland
The original manuscript of Charles Darwin’s work On the Origin of Species, as well as his proposals and outline of the contents of the highly valuable work is but one of the works in the John Murray Archive, a collection - made by seven John Murrays who ran the family publishing house, launched in 1768, for more than 200 years - which is set to be moved to Scotland from its current storage in London. The Scottish Executive appears poised to back the National Library of Scotland bid to buy the collection for close to £33 million.
