The Galapagos Times is an email newsletter that was distributed to employees of SPU-Darwin. Distributed weekly from August 1997 until May 1998.

The newsletter is named after the Galápagos Islands, which Charles Darwin visited in the 1830s during his five-year voyage aboard HMS Beagle; his studies of the archipelago's endemic species helped inspire his theory of evolution by natural selection. Galapagos here referred to the "virtual space" being explored by SPU-Darwin's work, with the goal being the "evolution" of LEGO products from physical to digital.[2]
