This is the main page for WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography, concerned with importing and adapting material from the Dictionary of National Biography (DNB), a large British biographical dictionary, with a focus on the biographies from older editions that are now in the public domain. This is a major resource with 70 volumes that are public domain, and is of broad and substantial interest not only for the history of the British Isles (with strong coverage of Irish, Scottish and Welsh history), but also for historians of New England, the Indian subcontinent, and the British Empire generally.
