SAUR Indexes

Saur and Chadwyck-Healey Biographical Indexes and Dictionaries on Microfiche

K. G. Saur has published large indexed microfiche collections of biographical dictionaries. We own microfiche collections for the United States, Britain, France, Germany, plus Jewish people of all nationalities. Each article in the biographical dictionaries is individually reproduced on microfiche. These microfiche collections are housed at the Library Annex. The microfiche are indexed in a corresponding multi-volume printed index set shelved in Olin Reference collection. The following table below provides call numbers for each microfiche collection.

We also have two Chadwyck-Healey collections: one for the Soviet Union and a Chadwyck-Healey collection for British and Irish Biographies, 1840-1940. Details in the table below.

Note that some of the biographical dictionaries reproduced in these microfiche collections will also be available in the original print form in our stacks (search our catalog) or online full text (search the title in Google) because they are out of copyright.
