Thank you! Together, we did it.

Charles Lyell’s 294 notebooks were due to be sold abroad. However, a temporary export bar was imposed, giving the University of Edinburgh and over 1,100 supporters from Scotland, the United Kingdom and around the world the opportunity to raise the necessary funds to purchase them. A warm and heartfelt thank you to those who made it possible!
