He was a tragic figure in our history... dedicated, tenacious, but apparently (contextually) very shy guy and not at all into the blowhard self-promotion that was so common then and even more so nowadays (I should know ehhhh....). That compact display is absolutely beautiful and tastefully arranged. Someone(s) put a lot of TLC into that. Thanks to them and thanks for sharing it with us here. Tom
Well... I'm returning to your excellent photodoc to revisit his bio --- with due reverence and celebration of his life! Tom

Glad you enjoyed Burnham's display, Daniel. The Lowell library/archive team put a lot of work into it. Mr. Burnham is certainly deserving of the recognition.

This is wonderful Daniel! 
Thank you very much for sharing these pictures, it’s greatly appreciated, especially by those of us that will probably won’t be able to visit the exhibit at Lowell Observatory!

He wrote it on a Selectric. Of course! I have one. I would never part with it. I do not use it. The computer is the primary keyboard, but the Selectric is not to be discarded.
Thanks!

I have one in the basement gathering dust, been wondering what to do with it.
