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.

Thanks for JH's kindness and the good things sent. Now sends a specimen of what photography can achieve on a large scale.
Grateful for letters and enclosures. Has been ill himself, but is pleased to hear those at Collingwood are well. Hopes the prospect of Alexander [Herschel]'s appointment will be realized.
Will call on W. Bonsey on his way to Devon and may be able to give a valuation of the house and grounds at Slough.
Regrets that the weather has delayed his reply. Has now been able to get W. Bonsey's opinion on the valuation of JH's property at Slough; comments on this. Building land not much in demand at present.
The contents of JH's note has not surprised him. Encloses report of the trial for the better understanding of JH. Will be at Upton in a day or so.
