Livingstone Online is an ongoing project that provides access to the medical and scientific writings of the missionary, doctor and African explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873). We currently offer detailed transcriptions of many of his letters and we aim to make all his medical and scientific writings freely available online. We also have a complete catalogue of Livingstone's letters as well as a growing collection of essays concerning the historical contexts of Livingstone's life, works and writings.
