Housed within the University of King’s College, the Canadian arm of the Newton Project (based in the United Kingdom) supports its international counterpart by providing a centre of operations for Canadian-based transcription work on Newton’s unpublished manuscripts, as well as to seek funding for both entities.
The Newton Project was founded in 1998 and is based at Sussex University, where a team is working to provide online access to Newton’s scientific, theological, alchemical and administrative papers, with an initial focus on the influential scientist’s previously-unpublished theological writings. By providing instant access to these non-canonical writings of this early modern natural philosopher, the Newton Project is leading a scholarly revolution that is changing the way we view the figure many see as the father of modern science.
