Brand New Project Alert! As a  part of Project PHAEDRA, we're exploring Henrietta Swan Leavitt's calculations (along with Annie Jump Cannon's notes!). If you participated with the DASCH logbooks, you'll notice the reference to the glass plates on Leavitt's pages It's pretty thrilling to see these scientific calculations in action - in fact, Leavitt and Annie Jump Cannon were known as "Women Computers." That's #womeninSTEM on the 1890s! See more at the Wolbach Library's #ProjectPHAEDRA and dig into these workbooks to see for yourself. #LinkInBio
