Description:
1998-1-1040a-m is a collection 13 sheets of tan cardstock onto which are glued photographs of Harvard College Observatory buildings, scientific instruments, and research stations (including that in Arequipa, Peru), celestial photographs taken with Harvard astrographs, and records of data analysis (much of it done by women "computers" employed at the Observatory). The cards were used to illustrate a talk about the Observatory and its research.
Topics include stellar spectroscopy, photometry, novae, binary stars, and variable stars. The images and graphs are captioned in ink in a cursive hand, perhaps by Williamina Fleming.
This particular card shows:
"Henry Draper Memorial. Early Results."
Pencil writing on the reverse of the card:
"Early important work under the Henry Draper Memorial. [Beta] Aur = 1st Spectroscopic binary, discovered by EC Pickering."
