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.

Photographic news. Has heard about the JHs.
Is grateful for JH's extracts from Homer. Hopes JH will publish before he has finished all the translation. Will write again soon.
Sending some of her photographs. Has won medals for her efforts but would like JH's opinion so it can be quoted. Has been very busy with photographic work. Her son has gone to Ceylon and she now has no children in the house.
Is grateful for the praise JH has given her photographic efforts. Intends to do a series of life-sized head photographs. Is anxious about Henry Taylor, who has been overworking in the colonial cause.
Has been very busy. His poetry has inspired her to renewed efforts. Health not good.
Has only just received his letter. Feared for the safety of her parcel. Wishes he would write a poem on photography. John Taylor and the Camerons think that JH's poetry is beautiful. Writes in haste to catch the post.
Her husband is well again and her own health is much improved. Would be interested to know which photographs he likes best and why.
Sending him photographs and mounts for him to sign and return. Can keep one for himself. Remembers the day she spent with him.
