Biographical Information  

Biographical resources identify individuals who have achieved a significant level of influence or notoriety and provide related information. The strategy for locating biographical information depends on whether the purpose is to research a name already known, or to find names of notable persons by occupation, ethnic group, gender, and so on. The purpose may be a combination of researching known names as well as finding new names along the way. Plentiful print and online resources are available to accommodate any need.
