Australian Dictionary of Biography - Online

Online

On 6 July 2006, the Australian Dictionary of Biography Online was launched by Michael Jeffery, Governor-General of Australia, and received a Manning Clark National Cultural Award in December 2006. The website is a joint production of the ADB and the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre, University of Melbourne (Austehc).

The ADB project should not be confused with the much smaller and older Dictionary of Australian Biography by Percival Serle first published in 1949, nor with the German Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (published 1875–1912) which is also referred to as ADB in English sources.
