Return to Slavic Biography Page <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kramme, U.; Urra Muena, Z. K.G. Saur, 1997-2004. 504 fiches. As with the other K.G. Saur biographical archives <\/a> on microfiche, they have copied the entries from biographical reference books and cumulated all of the entries for one individual together. Thus, the entries are replicas of the original source with a citation to the original source at the head of each entry. This source is valuable because it eliminates checking numerous books for information and also provides access to sources that the U of I Library may not own. The South-East-European biographical archive <\/em> contains over 100,000 entries from over 175 sources published between 1711 and 1996. Entries include individuals from Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia<\/strong>, Croatia<\/strong>, Bosnia-Herzegovina<\/strong>, Macedonia<\/strong>, Serbia<\/strong>, and Montenegro<\/strong>. Depending on the original sources, the entries may or may not have bibliographical references and may appear in any of the languages spoken in the Balkans. Beware that sometimes the entries for different people with the same name may be conflated.<\/p>\n A\u00a0list of the 175 sources\u00a0covered in the archive\u00a0is available on microfiche at the beginning of the set in case you want to see the range of biographical resources in this area. You can search for a person listed in the Baltic biographical archive <\/em> in the World biographical index<\/em><\/a>, which is available for U\u00a0of I students and faculty through Online Research Resources (Databases)<\/a>. If you are not affiliated with U\u00a0of I you may want to check with your institution or your local library: it is possible that they provide access to the World biographical index<\/em>. However the entries contain only brief biographical data, not the actual entries that are on the microfiche. The results of the search will tell you which sets contain entries for the individual and from which reference books they were taken. This feature will be available for the South-East-European biographical archive <\/em> in 2004 according to the publisher. Beware<\/strong>: Although this archive is a valuable resource, do not be deceived into thinking that use of this source will cover all bases. It is impossible to include all of the biographical resources that exist. If you rely on the Archive <\/em> alone, you will miss some potentially useful material.<\/p>\nBiographical Sources<\/h2>\n
