A separate biographies file was created in July 2000, providing more direct access to items on individuals that were hidden in subject files. Not all biographies are separated and included in this section, but may be found filed as a part of another series, such as “Great Decisions” series. Biographies in the Biographies series are arranged first by “Local” and then by “Other” speakers. Sometimes the distinction is unclear. Within these sub series the arrangement is alphabetical.
