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.

Is looking forward to receiving a copy of JH's Outlines Astr.; describes an aurora AP had seen at Alnwick Castle.
Is sending a communication to JH for insertion in the R.A.S.M.N. Seems to be some problem with understanding YV's calculations of the orbits of double stars, so YV explains his method.
Note to present JH with a copy of AS's latest work.
Grateful for JH's help in making a successful claim upon Her Majesty's Government.
Describes usual method for interpolation of altitudes at sea. JH's graphic method probably would be practicable.
Thanks JH for his support of Henry Prinsep in his attempt to be elected [to seat of directors of the East India House].
A note of thanks for a copy of JH's Outlines Astr.
Is grateful for his Outlines Astr. Comments on its quality and usefulness. Sends the first report of the Board of Mathematical Studies.
Many thanks for his astronomy [Outlines Astr.]. Will read it later when he has more time.
Sends extracts from book by Mr. Hopkins on the solar system. Has his own theories on the Augustan calendar proved to his own mind. No authority for giving the name Saras to the period of 223 lunations.
Regarding the possibility of a new edition of JH's Treatise Astr. originally published in Lardner's Cyclopaedia. Has found it very useful for his students.
