Ernest Oliver's contribution was in mission administration, not writing, and he left no published works. His personal papers are in his family's keeping. These are not extensive, but they do include a partly-completed biography begun by a family member (which covers his life up until his entry into Nepal) and detailed correspondence relating to his time with Tearfund. His other executive correspondence remains with the organizations for which he worked. The EMA archives are comprehensive and take the form of reports incorporated into minutes of meetings. To date, no works have been published about him.
