The Collected Papers of R.A. Fisher
The Collected Papers of R.A. Fisher were published in five volumes
by the University of Adelaide between 1971 and 1974. Since 1999 the Library
has progressively digitised many of these papers and made them available
online, hoping in this way to make Fisher's far-reaching contributions
to statistics, genetics and evolutionary biology more readily accessible
to a wider audience.
A bibliography of Fisher's publications from
Volume 1 of the Collected Papers is now available online, as is
the biographical memoir of Fisher, by F. Yates
and K. Mather (published originally in the
Biographical Memoirs of Fellows
of the Royal Society of London,
vol. 9, 9-120, 1963, and included in
volume 1 of the Collected Papers).
Please note that the digitized pamphlets linked within these pages are
in .pdf format, and you will need Adobe
Acrobat Reader, a free program, installed on your computer in order
to view them.
