Who should use the Oxford Biography Index?
• Anyone who needs to know exactly what someone was called, or when they were alive. • Here are some examples. • Everyone who needs to refer to people in history unambiguously and definitively: archivists, cataloguers, historians, information professionals. • If you are creating electronic records for people, please read about Oxford Biography Index numbers below: you may find them invaluable. • Anyone who wants to use a standard web search to find people in the Oxford DNB. • Anyone who wants to establish links to Oxford DNB subjects that will lead to the articles, but also be meaningful to a reader without a subscription.
