  • Oxford DNB: January 2020
    Oxford DNB: January 2020 Welcome to the fifty-ninth update of the Oxford DNB, which adds biographies of 228 individuals who died in the year 2016 (it also includes three subjects who died before 2016, and who have been included with new entries). Of these, the earliest born is the author E.R. Braithwaite (1912-2016) and the latest born is the geriatrician and campaigner for compassionate care in health services, Kate Granger (1981- 2016). Braithwaite is one of nine centenarians included in this update, and Granger one of sixteen new subjects born after the Second World War. The vast majority (165, or 72%) were born in the 1920s and 1930s. Fifty-one of the new subjects who died in 2016 (or just under 23% of the cohort) are women. From January 2020, the Oxford DNB offers biographies of 63,693 men and women who have shaped the British past, contained in 61,411 articles. 11,773 biographies include a portrait image of the subject—researched in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, London. As ever, we have a free selection of these new entries, together with a full list of the new biographies. The complete dictionary is available, free, in most public libraries in the UK. Libraries offer 'remote access' that enables you to log in at any time at home (or anywhere you have internet access). Elsewhere the Oxford DNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide. Full details of participating British public libraries, and how to gain access to the complete dictionary, are available here.
