The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (or ODNB) is a subscription service published online by Oxford University Press. Full access is available free to nearly all UK library members: type your library card number into the home page (www.oxforddnb.com) to gain full access to the site from any location. There’s also free access to 250+ biography podcast episodes and monthly history features.
Biographies in the ODNB are written by specialist historians working in colleges and universities worldwide. These authors are overseen by a small team of academics based at Oxford University’s history faculty, led by the historian of modern Britain, David Cannadine.
