My name is Tony Woolrich and I live in the UK. I began editing Wikipedia in June 2004.
My special field is the history of engineering and manufacturing in the time of the Industrial Revolution.
I was a contributor to the New Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and to the Biographical Dictionary of Civil Engineers, as well as specialist journals.
I am greatly interested in the history of encyclopædias and early technical books, industrial espionage during the Industrial Revolution and the history of machine tools.
I worked as a publisher's editor, and also as a consultant on engineering history.
Working on the Wikisource 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica project took up some of my time. I was also an Administrator on Wikisource.
I came away from Wikipedia in the late 2000s, being involved in other things. I have now returned and have begun picking up the pieces again, in particular Rees's Cyclopaedia and its contributors. I have posted a page about Charles Burney's music articles in Rees, with lists of them and his biographical articles about musicians.
When I am not here I volunteer at my local museum, Blake Museum. I retired at the end of 2018 after six years as Hon Curator, and since have co-edited the web site of the Bridgwater Heritage Group: www.bridgwaterheritage.org.uk
