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.

Comments on the currency. Thinks it would be feasible to share tutors for their children as the name of JH would attract men with superior ability.
Sends another pamphlet on the gold question. On the last page he will find JM has adopted JH's suggestion, though he does not give the source. Thinks that these suggestions should prove useful to France.
Is obliged for JH's observations on his statement of [Joseph?] Hume's doctrine. These errors are discreditable and will diminish the utility of the book.
Has been thinking over the names of solicitors and believes he can recommend Messrs. Lewin of Southampton St. The senior partner is a brother of JM and JH should keep his papers when he concludes his business with his present solicitors.
Read JH's letter in the Times with great pleasure. Would like to see the gold question remain as at present. Has not been successful with the Wellingtonia seed; none has come up. Regrets to hear the change in the weather has brought on JH's bronchitis.
Has received the Wellingtonia seeds safely and they seem all right. Glad to hear that the Paulownias have grown so well. Still has two camellias. Sorry to hear a poor account of his health. Hears reports of John Herschel [JH's son]. Own son has been called to the Bar.
