Has the Society ever published a paper about the poet, John Keats?
To answer this question (or any others about papers we have published since 1862), go to the new online index (alphabetical by first author) and search by author, title, or date. For almost all of the papers, there is a DOI, a digital object identifier, pointing at a permanent online location of the paper.
When I was working on making the papers published in the Journal & Proceedings since 1867 accessible to us at the Biodiversity Heritage Library, I hoped that one day a complete index of the pieces would appear. Davina Jackson’s RSNSW Bicentennial Bibliography appeared earlier this year.
Since its appearance, BHL Australia has provided DOIs for almost all the papers we have published since 1862, which makes finding any paper very easy. The new index includes these DOIs. It includes the author’s name, other authors (if any), year, title of the paper, journal title, volume number, pagination, and the DOI.
The paper on Keats can be found using its DOI, https://doi.org/10.5962/p.361341
