Alan Turing’s bibliography with links

The importance of the work of Alan Turing is well known to everybody. The most complete resources on Turing’s work are The Turing Digital Archive, the book “The essential Turing” of Jack Copeland and the volumes of his “Collected works”. The problem with the Digital Archive is that it contains scans of manuscripts from which is not so easy to read, yet I think it is very interesting to browse.
Below, I list most of Turing’s papers and some links for them. The links are freely accessible and they lead to easily read pdf files that are scans or reprints of the original publications or at least they are very close to it.
The links are listed as found on the web; any possible copyright issues or broken link issue should regard the owner of the site that hosts the linked files. In case you have any suggestions for the list please add a comment.
At the end you may find something that should be an anecdote  but it is a real problem in academic publications.

The next should be an anecdote; it is not. In the link below of the article written by Simone Santini, you may read some negative reviews that some incredible reviewers gave to some of the most important papers ever written. One of this papers is Turing's most famous paper.
