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.

Comments from those who access this material are welcome.
