Description

The material in this Series was stored by John Jenkin in filing cabinets, with labelled suspension files used for high-level subjects and manila folders within these titled at a more granular level. Many of these folders primarily contain photocopies drawn from a variety of sources, often accompanied by research notes and related correspondence. The suspension files have been discarded for preservation reasons, with the labelled tabs retained with the first item from that file. Inventory item titles have been taken from John Jenkin’s own manila file titles where available, with the broader suspension file tab recorded as the title qualifier, which appears directly beneath each title.

Series 4 consists of material relating to William Lawrence Bragg (widely referred to as Lawrence Bragg) son of William Henry Bragg, with whom he shared the 1915 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Material in this Series follows the life of Lawrence Bragg, born 31 March 1890, from his upbringing in Adelaide, to his service during the First World War and his later career. It includes biographical information collected on Lawrence Bragg, including his own personal reminiscences regarding his research on X-ray Crystallography, and information on his education at St. Dominic's Priory College, Queens School, St. Peter's College, the University of Adelaide and the University of Cambridge, as well as his marriage to Alice Hopkinson.

It also includes material relating to his professional career and research on X-ray Crystallography for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 as well as material relating to the First World War and his work on Sound Ranging, including correspondence sent from Lawrence Bragg to his family and articles on War Neurosis and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
