The Chinese Biographical Database (CBD)
Lewis-Clark State College, Idaho, USA
Supplied note:
"An interactive, scholarly moderated online database, [...] an
interdisciplinary, multilingual tool. There is no authorization
needed or charge to users. The database is not for downloading
but for online usage and growth. [...] The CBD is based on
multiple tables of which 11 are now online: Basic Biographical
Information, Career, Alternate Names, Family, Education, Youth
Activities, Affiliations, Official Positions, Historical Events,
Locator Table, and Sources. There are more than 20 searches
(queries) and 9 report forms. [...] The range of biography
includes artists, officials, educators, industrialists,
scientists, military leaders, politicians and many other career
types. [...] We encourage our colleagues to join us in supplying
new figures, information and particularly - new sources (in
English or Chinese). Although we have concentrated on post-1850
figures, the chronological scope of the database is open-ended."
