Between 1998 and 2001 the Wellcome Trust funded the preparation and publication of an edition of the Workdiaries of Robert Boyle (1627-91) under the direction of Professor Michael Hunter. This edition was published in 2001 by Perseus and on the Boyle website at Birkbeck College. With the support of CELL, additional funding was secured from the Wellcome Trust in 2004 to add images of the original manuscripts. The CELL 2004 edition of the Workdiaries is a fully revised and enhanced edition (based on an updated version of the XML produced in 2001). As well as images of the manuscripts, it includes a new interface and search and reference facilities. CELL provided the technical expertise needed to create this new edition of the Workdiaries and it was published on this website in December 2004.
October 2007: New image interface with zoom facility added.
