Abstract

The appearance of volume 16 of the Dictionary of Scientific Biography (DSB), the index, marks an important milestone in the life of the major reference tool in the history of science. Since the appearance of volume one in 1970, the DSB has become an indispensable tool for anyone seeking information about the lives and work of the scientists of the past. With over 6,000 sets sold it represents a major addition to the genre of multi‐volumed biographical dictionaries.
