Who's Who

Who's Who, published annually since 1849 and the first biographical book of its kind, is among the world‘s most recognised and respected works of reference. It contains over 33,000 short biographies, continually updated, of living noteworthy and influential individuals, from all walks of life, worldwide. Each biographee supplies the original information for their entry and is then sent an annual proof for updating. Our editors also monitor the press and other sources of reference for day-to-day changes and additions. The information contained in a Who's Who entry is essentially autobiographical, its integrity and accuracy ensured by constant independent research. Who's Who is a standard reference book in libraries around the world, relied upon by academics, researchers, business people, government officials and charities, as well as the casual browser.
