Indexed sources include biographical dictionaries and who's whos, subject encyclopedias, volumes of literary criticism, and indexes.
Also sources that restrict coverage to specialized areas, such as education/science, history, literature, religion, politics, performing arts, visual arts, and more.
Each citation gives the person's name, followed by birth and/or death dates, source codes, and inclusion of portrait/photograph, as applicable.
Names are alphabetized in letter-by-letter sequence, with both names and dates appearing exactly as they are listed in the source books.
Cross-references appearing in indexed publications have been retained to further aid research
