The index to personal names, corporate and institutional names, and some topics mentioned in Volume One of the Dictionary of Virginia Biography was compiled in the editorial offices to establish a record of correct names and spellings for future reference. This is not a full analytical index of the first volume. It should be used in conjunction with the Dictionary of Virginia Biography classified index that was published at the same time. Names of the principal business firms, schools, churches, and other organizations with which the subjects had significant associations are included in this index. The books, songs, works of art, and architectural creations that the subjects produced are not normally included in this index.
Boldfaced numbers distinguish the pages on which a biography appears.
