The database is not for downloading but for online usage and growth. The range of biography includes artists, officials, educators, industrialists, scientists, military leaders, politicians and many other career types. Please enter your search term above. Besides a very short descriptive note each entry contains links to further on-line resources on the person in question. The individuals listed are just a tiny sample of noteworthy Asian Americans.
Links are to biographical information where possible.
In some cases biographical information was not available. In such cases, a link is made to some resource on the Internet in which the individual is identified. This section includes, but is not limited to, missionaries, teachers, doctors, converts, critics, and the literati. Entries are not intended to be exhaustive but to provide a useful foundation for further research, especially for those whose backgrounds are not well documented. Individuals who have been the subject of study will be listed with biographical excerpts and bibliographic citations.
