Hi everyone,
The StrepHit IEG project [1] is currently in the phase of curating a list of reliable sources containing biographical data.
The mix'n'match tool [2] already maintains a list.
Can anyone involved in GLAM projects please suggest any more reliable sources?
Thanks for getting in touch with me!
Cheers,
Marco
