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.

Marriage of HH's eldest daughter. Thanks for JH's letter of introduction to George Bishop and J. R. Hind.
Delayed answering JH's letter until HH could find details of works by 'Göttingen Professor,' but has had difficulty in locating them. Any treatise connecting epidemics with fungous origins would be of interest. Will bring distressing medical case to attention of one of HH's committees. HH's Medical Notes and Reflections, 3rd edition (1855).
Comments on JH's paper on Sensorial Vision (1858). Covered some of this ground in HH's own book, Mental Physiology (1852).
