H.W. Wilson has introduced a new version of Biography Index that combines the resource's full six-decade history of in-depth article indexing with coverage up to the present. Biography Index: Past & Present delivers the complete content of Biography Index from its 1946 inception and continues with daily updates.

Valuable for students, scholars, media professionals and other researchers, the database covers people from across all disciplines and areas of endeavor. Information on writers, artists, statesmen, sports figures, politicians, religious leaders, actors, business people and more is reflected in more than a million article citations from thousands of periodicals internationally, plus notable books indexed back to 1946. New citations, some 22,000 per year, are picked up from biographical content appearing in more than 8,000 journals and magazines covered by other WilsonWeb specialty databases, plus indexing of some 2,000 books annually.

The database can be searched seamlessly with Wilson's acclaimed Biography Reference Bank database, providing full-text narrative profiles for many of the people covered in Biography Index: Past & Present.
