Literature on UV (and IR) Photography

Now this one won't contain pictures and new findings, but a list of literature which deals with UV photography. I have collected that over the years and I am very greatful for the work of Dres. Williams who have provided also quite a few useful resources which I will happily included also.

So here it is:

Books:
1) Quirke, B.A. "Forged, Anonymous, And Suspect Documents", Routledge & Sons, London, 1930 where in chapter XXII on some 19pp ultraviolet and flourescence photography is used to make forgeries visible
2) Matthews S.K., "Photography in Archeology and Art", Humanities Press, London 1968, chap. 12 some 8pp on UV and IR photography
3) Engel, Ch.E. (Ed.) "Photography for the Scientist", Academic Press, London and NY, 1st Edition, 1968, Chapter 8 by Peter Hansell on Ultraviolett and Fluorescence recording, ca 19pp
4) Morton, R.A. (Ed.) "Photography for the Scientist", Academic Press, London and NY, 2nd Edition, 1984, Chapter 8 by Peter Hansell and Raymond J. Lunnon on Ultraviolett and Fluorescence recording, ca 33pp
5) Arnold, Rolls, Stewart, "Applied Photography", Focal Press, London and New York, 1st Ed. 1971, chap. 8 Ultraviolet Photography, 48pp very detailled about lighting, filters, lenses, developping, detectors, applications
6) Rorimer J.J., "Ultra-Violet Rays and their use in the Examination of Works of Art", Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1931 with tons of pictured examples
7) Pountney, H. "Police Photography", Applied Science Publishers LTD, London, Elsevier 1971, chap. 8 Ultraviolet Photography, 10pp on forensic applications.
8) Spitzing G. "Grenzbereiche der Photographie" Heering Verlag, 1968, Teil III UV-Fotopraxis, ca 36pp on that topic, also on IR and Polarization (in German Language)
9) Spitzing G., "Infrarot-und UV-Fotografie", Laterna Magica 1981 (in German Language) [original in Dutch Language "Infrarood en Ultraviolet Fotografie, Elsevier 1979], Teil III Die Ultraviolett-Aufzeichnung, ca. 34 pp on that topic (lights, filters, lenses, fluorescence,...)
10) Kodak, "Infrared & Ultraviolet Photography", Kodak Tech. Publ. No. M-27/28-H, Eastman Kodak 1972

And the very comprehensive literature list assembled by Professors Williams (including the famous LUNNON sources who in a way pioneered UV photography is mentioned several times in there) http://msp.rmit.edu.au/Article_01/16.html

So I guess the oldest (1903/1910) source should be by the inventor of the famous "Woods glass" Prof. Robert Williams Wood, who made the first UV transmitting glass filter and the reason why these filters sometimes are still called "Woods Glass".

So I hope you found these sources as helpful as I do....

Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
