- Solon I. Bailey, "Henrietta Swan Leavitt," Popular Astronomy, Vol. XXX, No. 4, Whole No. 294 (April 1922), pp. 197-199 -- an obituary by a Harvard College Observatory colleague who worked alongside her for roughly two decades, written within weeks of her death. Fetched and read IN FULL as the original scanned journal pages (NASA ADS / Maria Mitchell Observatory digitization), not via a secondary summary. Near-primary, non-self, independent of the Wolbach Library material below.
- Peggy Wargelin, "Variable Stars," Wolbach Library, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (2018) -- institutional archival account built directly from Leavitt's surviving notebooks (Harvard University Archives, Project PHaEDRA, Box 273) and glass photographic plates. Fully read.
- Peggy Wargelin, "Reference Stars and Legacy," Wolbach Library, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (2018) -- same author/institution as the Variable Stars page above (counted as the same perspective), describing her instrumental-error-quantification methodology and 1909/1915 publications. Fully read.
- Peggy Wargelin, "Life and Beginnings," Wolbach Library, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (2018) -- same author/institution as above (same perspective), reproducing primary 1902 Leavitt-Pickering correspondence in full. Fully read.
- "Remembering Astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt," Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian news -- a distinct author/publication from the Wolbach Library pages above (independent perspective). Fully read.
- "Henrietta Swan Leavitt," The Harvard Plate Stacks (Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian) -- overview page citing George Johnson's 2005 biography "Miss Leavitt's Stars" and Lindsay Smith Zrull's 2021 peer-reviewed "Women in Glass" (Journal for the History of Astronomy). Fully read for its own content; Johnson's book and Zrull's article themselves were NOT separately obtained/read this cycle and are not cited as independently-verified sources.
