Biographical Information

 

One of the easiest library sources for biographical information about historical figures is the Credo Reference database.  Credo's Biography Topic Pages include thousands of individuals from all eras, and each biography page includes hundreds of entries from reference books, encyclopedias, collections of primary sources, journals, and more.  Use the search box below to locate biographical information - enter the last name, then the first name.
