News: I have been trying to find hosting to keep these papers available on-line after I can no longer provide hosting (I am approaching 80 years of age). The State Library of SA do not want these papers, and the Sisters of St Joseph are focused on the religious part of Tenison-Woods' life. If any reader can help, i would love to hear from you. Almost all the papers are Copyright free, so you are welcome to copy them. A few recent papers are still under Copyright, so you will need to respect those papers.
About Rev Julian Edmund TENISON WOODS
To be written eventually, but there is plenty written elsewhere about his pastoral and missionary work.
Using These Pages
I am progressively digitising each paper written by the Rev Julian TENISON WOODS, from paper photocopies to provide both text and PDF format copies. You will be able to download and save these papers. You can also read a text copy if you wish. Note that this process relies on my OCR software making an accurate conversion of the text so that it is searchable. We are proof-reading twice, but there may still be the occasional transcription error.
These articles and papers have been provided by Mr F ASLIN of Mt Gambier, who sourced and photocopied them over the past 30 years, from various libraries. The production of these pages is by Jan SQUIRE, Adelaide. We started adding papers in 2018, and hope to finish in the next year or so. All the articles by Rev J TENISON-WOODS are out of Copyright.
Summary of Tenison Woods Scientific Papers:
In 1929, the Rev. George O'NEILL S.J., M.A., published a book on the life of the Reverend Julian Edmund TENISON WOODS. In Appendix I, there is a list of his scientific writings in chronological order, including O'NEILL'S numbering system. The list is reproduced here, and I am adding notes as to the status of the article on this website. The notes include whether we have a suitable document for scanning, OCR status, whether the text and PDF has been uploaded, and the proof-reading status.
