At its core, the 18-year Academy Project involves the complete publication of Humboldt’s manuscripts on the topic of journeys at the intersection of cultural and natural sciences. These manuscripts provided Humboldt with a lifelong basis for writing the Personal Narrative, his American travelogue, as well as for elaborating the entire 29-volume oeuvre of his journey through the Americas. In his later days, they became a cornerstone for his work on Asie centrale (1843) and the Cosmos (1845–1862). Includes a timeline that can be used for in-class discussion, and access to the primary sources behind the project.
