William H. (Henry) Bragg and William L. (Lawrence) Bragg: the
research records of John Jenkin, 1914-2010 This is a guide to
the collected research papers of Dr. John Jenkin on the lives
and work of William Henry Bragg and his son William Lawrence
Bragg (widely known as Lawrence Bragg), who were jointly awarded
the Nobel Prize in 1915 for introducing and developing the
science of X-ray crystallography. The collection is particularly
strong in covering their time in Adelaide, and the work which
culminated in their receipt of the Nobel Prize. Bragg, William
Henry Date Range: 2 July 1862-10 March 1942 William Henry Bragg
was a British physicist and mathematician who uniquely shared
the Nobel Prize in Physics with his elder son, Lawrence Bragg,
"for their services in the analysis of crystal structures by
means of X-rays", and who later pioneered public understanding
and sympathy for science at both the Royal Institution and as
President of the Royal Society of London. Bragg, William
