Biographies provide information about the lives of both living and deceased persons. Biographies may limit themselves to describing the contributions of people within a particular discipline, those living in a particular country, or may narrow their focus in other ways. Generally, people listed in a biographical resource have achieved some notable success, celebrity, or notoriety in their lives.
A biography may be a book or film that focuses on a single person, but biographical reference resources are most often collections of articles about a particular person.
