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 sets 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 sets are now housed at the Library Annex. The sets are indexed in a corresponding multi-volume printed index set shelved in Olin Reference collection [shelved in Olin B52 during construction]. The following table below provides call numbers for each microfiche set.

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

Note that some of the biographical dictionaries covered in these sets 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.
