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.

Please withdraw [?]'s name from ballot until JH can confer with him when [he] comes home on leave next year. Thanks for care that JS is showing to Alexander S. Herschel.
A note with a copy of JH's article on telescopes for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, together with some papers to be forwarded to James Glaisher.
Thanks for declination readings from photograms at Kew. Thinks meteorological observatory on Vesuvius is good idea, but not sure a magnetic one is. Includes two charts of world.
Has tried a number of different fractional projections, some more interesting than others [see GA's 1860-12-7].
[It having been asserted in the Times that the Russians have not communicated about the climate at Pekin], JH notes that in fact wonderfully detailed meteorological observations for Pekin from 1850 to 1855 have been widely distributed by the Russians.
