The Dictionary of Welsh Biography contains over five thousand concise biographies of individuals who have made a significant contribution to national life, whether in Wales or more widely.
For reasons regarding cyber security, the Dictionary of Welsh Biography website is now static. The content is still available for consultation. New articles will be published provisionally on the DWB section of the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies website. We apologise for any inconvenience.
As part of the Welsh Government’s Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan, the Diversity Project of the DWB undertakes new work to improve the representation of Wales’s diverse history.
We need new authors to write articles about individuals who deserve a place in The Dictionary of Welsh Biography to ensure the timely and continuous publication of new biographies. A list of articles that need to be created for the Dictionary of Welsh Biography can be viewed here.
