National Biographies National biographies are retrospective usually, and do not contain entries for people still living. They are published mostly in the language of the country. Most are shelved in the 920 area of the Reference collection. To identify national biographies in the Library's catalogue use the subject search option. Who publications are a good source.
Earlier issues are available from the stack by call slip.
The various national editions of Who's Who are scattered throughout the biographical area at RF 920. The National Library has files of press clippings from Australian papers concerning a great variety of Australian people. To access these files complete a call slip by writing 'Biog file' in the call number box and the subject of the biography in the title box, where the subject is the person's name.
