For the Scandinavian Biographical Archive. New Series (SBA II), biographies from around 150 reference works published between the beginning of the 20th century and 2003 have been gathered together. These supplement the standard work, SBA I, but at the same time render the SBA II a stand-alone work for which contemporary sources have been drawn upon for the first time. Approximately 150,000 biographical articles illustrate social, cultural and scientific life in the Scandinavian countries. Also available as 'World Biographical Index' Online and on CD-ROM
