Biography Resource Center (via GaleNet) The Biography Resource Center (BioRC) is a comprehensive database of biographical information on over 325,000 people from throughout history, around the world, and across all disciplines and subject areas. It combines more than 427,000 biographies from over 960 volumes of more than 135 respected Gale sources with full-text articles from more than 270 magazines. Entries are arranged by narrative biographies, thumbnail biographies, magazine articles, and websites when available. Searchable by name, occupation, nationality, ethnicity, gender, birth and death years and locations, and availability of images.
World Biographical Information System Online Based on the digitization of K. G. Saur's Biographical Archives, WBIS Online compiles biographical articles from printed reference works published from the 16th to the 21th century. It features biographical profiles of people, often obscure, from all countries and regions worldwide. In addition to 4.56 million digitized biographical articles from 24 Biographical Archives, the WBIS Online database currently provides an index to 36 Biographical Archives totaling short biographies on more than 4.2 million persons. This resource contains citations only and not full-text articles.
Biographical Archives (Reference Room unless otherwise noted)
The series of “biographical archives” published by K.G. Saur Verlag is one of the most important
reference sources in the humanities published in recent years. To date the publisher has completed more than 35
sets of biographical archives, each devoted to a particular country, region, or ethnic group, and several more
are still in production. The first set, the German Biographical Archive, series I, was completed in 1985. It
incorporates 264 sources published between 1707 and 1913 and contains approximately 480,000 articles on 213,000
individuals.
Typically, 200-300 biographical reference sources were filmed for each set in the series.
The individual entries from all of the sources were then reassembled in a single alphabet on microfiche.
Thus, the entries for the sixteenth-century German theologian, Simon Pauli (1534-1591), reproduced from
seven different biographical encyclopedias, are filed together under his name.
