Dictionary of Welsh Biography

[4] His joint editor was John Edward Lloyd, but the Dictionary was not published until 1959, twelve years after his death.

However, it did not include anyone who was still living in 1940; its supplementary volume, The Dictionary of Welsh Biography, 1941 to 1970 did, containing an additional 600 entries within its 318 pages.

[7] The Welsh Biography Online resource has about 4,325 biographies online including clergy, princes, members of the gentry, poets and writers, government officials, ministers, artisans, sportsmen, workers, soldiers, industrialists and farmers.

The National Library of Wales also has a long and close association with The Dictionary of Welsh Biography.

Several National Librarians have served as editors and many members of staff have undertaken editorial and research work for the publication.
