There is a bit more information in *Jacques Herbrand: Logical Writings*,
edited by Warren Goldfarb. Harvard U Press, 1971. This is primarily a
translation into English of the v. Heijenoort collection, primarily in the
form of notes and footnotes connected to the individual papers of
H---making corrections, comments and references to other work in logic. I
don't know it well, and so don't know how much use it will be to you. Good
Luck!
