William Ellis's retirement is formalised with a hand-over of the precious keys that gave Royal Observatory staff access to the buildings and through the gates of Greenwich Park.
Joining the 2009 International Year of Astronomy's Cosmic Diary project, this blog transcribes 19th-century working journals kept by the Astronomer Royal and Chief Assistant of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Transcription and comments are provided by a 21st-century curator working on the same site.
