There is a bibliography (containing 109 articles) up to 1989:

• Seymour Geisser et al. (eds) Bayesian and Likelihood Methods in Statistics and Econometrics : Essays in Honor of George A. Barnard, North-Holland 1990. This contains a review of Barnard's work by Lindley. The volume was one of a series honouring Bayesian heroes. Barnard was not a Bayesian but he was a "great guy"!

In 1990 he made a book out of manuscripts left by his friend Egon Pearson:

• E. S. Pearson (1990) ‘Student’, A Statistical Biography of William Sealy Gosset, Edited and Augmented by R. L. Plackett with the Assistance of G. A. Barnard, Oxford: University Press.

After 1990 Barnard published little, although he kept up his letter writing. In 1996 however he produced a review of Barndorff-Nielsen and Cox After observing that, "A great virtue of the book is that it raises perhaps as many questions as it answers," Barnard went on to give his answer one of those questions:

• Review of Inference and Asymptotics. by O. E. Barndorff-Nielsen; D. R. Cox Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series A, 159, (1996), 178-179.
