            A Treatise on Spherical Astronomy by Robert Stawell Ball was a work on positional or spherical astronomy. It was first published in 1908. It has 506 pages.The book covers various areas of study, including fundamental formulae, determination of coordinates, atmospheric refraction, the theory of cartography, and more. It assumes a good level of geometry and trigonometry knowledge from readers.

            The book "An Elementary Treatise on the Lunar Theory with a Brief Sketch of the History of the Problem" was written by Hugh Godfray. Hugh Godfray (c1821-1877) first published his treatise in 1853, a year after he graduated from St. John’s College. Lunar theory would become central to George Darwin’s work, and he went on to form crucial theories regarding lunar acceleration, earth retardation, the earth-moon system, and the genesis of the moon. It was published in 1987

            Johannes Kepler's Astronomia Nova, published in 1609, was the oldest book available in the archives. It contains the results of Kepler's ten-year-long investigation of the motion of Mars. Where previous astronomers had relied on geometric models to explain the observed positions of the planets, Kepler discovered physical causes for planetary motion. Before Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed in 1543 that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. Kepler was the first astronomer to prove this conjecture with rigorous scientific arguments. This Volume has 336 pages and is in fairly good condition.

            The “Memorandums of the Imperial Academy of Sciences” publish scientific papers from various disciplines and contribute to academic research. Volume 52, containing the “Canon of Eclipses,” was a valuable resource for astronomy and astrophysics enthusiasts who want to study eclipses in the past and future and make predictions about such events. This publication comes from Theodor Ritter von Oppolzer and was published in 1887. The “Canon of Eclipses” was a comprehensive collection of over 13,000 solar and lunar eclipses, including all total solar and penumbral lunar eclipses between ?1208 B.C.E. and 2161 AD. This book provides detailed information on the timing, duration and location of all eclipses mentioned.
