The Sir John Herschel Collection
The preparation of the print Calendar of the Correspondence of Sir John Herschel (Michael J. Crowe ed., David R. Dyck and James J. Kevin assoc. eds, Cambridge, England: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1998, viii + 828 pp) which was funded by the National Science Foundation, took ten years. It was accomplished by a team of seventeen professors, visiting scholars, graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and staff working at the University of Notre Dame.
The first online version of Calendar was created in 2009 by Dr Marvin Bolt and Steven Lucy, working at the Webster Institute of the Adler Planetarium, and it is that data that has now been reformatted for incorporation into Ɛpsilon.
Further information about Herschel, his correspondence, and the editorial method is available online here: http://historydb.adlerplanetarium.org/herschel/?p=intro
No texts of Herschel’s letters are currently available through Ɛpsilon.

Passing on E. J. Cooper's information that he has found a new star. Congratulations on another addition to the family.
Unable to help him as Richardson's Brisbane Observations have not yet come to hand. Feels the same as JH does regarding the presentation of the true colors of his parents.
Would like his opinion on the enclosed plan regarding chronometers.
Offering assistance for JH's forthcoming voyage to the Cape.
Has found a cheap passage for Thomas Maclear. Has JH anything that Maclear can do for him?
Will be pleased to distribute his papers. Has he made any arrangements for forwarding of his letters? If not, can he do this for him?
Called on him yesterday to tell him that [Robert?] Maconochie has a copy of a work that JH wants and he would most likely let him have it.
Has laid JH's letter about the Cape expedition before the Board. Captain J. C. Ross has arrived safely.
