Wolfram Research, Inc. makes available a Technical Report titled "Guide to 
Standard Mathematica Packages (Version 2.2)."  It is a complete
documentation
of all packages shipped standard with Mathematica 2.2 releases. 
Alternatively,
individual package source codes and documentation (text files) can be
downloaded
from MathSource (http://www.wolfram.com/mathsource/index.html).  The
drawback
to this approach is that you must search for each package.

A third-party developer -- MathSolutions, has a tensor package.  You can
find
additional information at:
