The archives of the Norman Lockyer Observatory are held in the library of the University of Exeter and comprise two distinct groups of documents. Firstly, correspondence and other papers of the astronomer Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer (1836-1920) and secondly, correspondence and working papers of the Norman Lockyer Observatory at Sidmouth, Devon; these are mainly for the period 1921 to 1961. A catalogue of the letters received by Lockyer from over 900 correspondents has been prepared and the listing of the other papers is in progress. In addition, the Observatory holds a collection of over 8000 photographic plates, of which over 6000 are of stellar spectra, especially of variable stars, some of which are from the 19th century.
