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.

Wished Edward Ryan to consult JH regarding [G. H. Gordon (4th Earl of Aberdeen)]. as he knows him better. Will not make any move until he has consulted Sir James Graham. Unable to manage Monday, but any day after will suit him. Mrs. Jones is very depressed and needs a change of air.
Still holds opinion that RJ expressed last night, but would speak to Lord A. [Aberdeen?] soon if RJ does not hear from Lord A.
