FEATURED RESOURCE:

The World Biographical Information System Online (WBIS Online)
“K.G. Saur presents the most comprehensive and extensive biographical online library. Using all the possibilities afforded by the 21st century to provide access to approximately 9 million entries from nearly 10.000 reference works: works written since the 16th century in 40 languages and comprising more than 17.000 volumes.
A wealth of biographical information on more than 5 million people: men and women from all classes and professions, from all countries and regions of the earth, from the 4th millennium BC to the present – here in lies the uniqueness of this database.
WBIS Online is based on the successive digitization of the microfiche editions of K. G. Saur Verlag’s Biographical Archives.
The basis for searches in WBIS Online is the World Biographical Index (WBI), representing a complete index to the 52 Biographical Archives currently available from K. G. Saur Verlag. At present 47 digitized Biographical Archives are available in WBIS Online.” (Walter de Gruyter – K.G. Saur)
