He emigrated from England to Australia for medical reasons in 1854. Tulk was chosen from a short-list of forty eight applicants, and began his new job on 5 May 1856. His legacy includes the collection of some 80,000 volumes he collected and a relatively advanced system of classification according to books' subjects. Tulk turned down offers of appointment from other libraries in Sydney and abroad. A noted linguist, Tulk continued his studies adding native Fijian and Aboriginal languages to his repertoire.〔
