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.

Queries regarding a corroded clock face, and description of harvest bugs. Has an intermittent river in their district. Has now set up the Munich telescope and would be pleased to show it to JH. Does he want Amici's mirrors?
The black broth that the Spartans liked must have been mushroom ketchup. Suggests way of obtaining a portable dome. Sends drawing and description of the harvest bug. Is pleased to hear of his projected Cape expedition. Is carrying out observations of the moon.
Came with the intention of paying JH money, but finds he is out; what shall he do? Can he also advise him about the map for the R.A.S.?
