Since then researchers have been attempting to sift through all of his diaries, notes, letters and papers in an effort to study his writings and, more recently, to compile them for publishing online.The result is the Digital Einstein project - a website on which it is now possible to browse over 1,000 of his documents.

The archive includes science papers, diary entries, personal love letters, divorce files, high school transcripts and even the notebook in which he first worked out his general theory of relativity.

The online archive can be accessed at - http://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/
