For longer, more in-depth biographies try searching for books (or videos) in the UFV Library Catalogue. An entire book or part of one may be devoted to the person you are researching.
To get started searching for the biography of a specific person, use the search box below. Type the person’s name (last name, first name). Punctuation and capitalization are not necessary when searching. Example: rothko, mark or for a narrower search type the person’s last name and biography, trudeau and biography .
For someone who may not be famous enough to be known by everyone, or for someone who may not have an entire book written about them, try searching for the person’s occupation title as plural with or without the inclusion of ‘biography’, archaeologists biography or biologists .
