Consortium Luxembourg is pleased to announce the addition of two reference works from de Gruyter to the Consortium Luxembourg Portal:

• Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon / Artists of the World : The database Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon Online / Artists of the World Online is the world’s most contemporary, reliable and extensive reference work on artists. It contains authoritative, up-to-date biographical information on more than 1 million artists.

• Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie / Dictionary of German Biography : This online edition of Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie / Dictionary of German Biography provides information about people from all aspects of public life: men and women from the entire German-speaking area from the time of the very earliest written records right up to the present. The biographies inform the reader about the person´s origins, education, influential encounters, professional development, places of influence, significant works and achievements, friendships and relationships, membership of groups and associations, reception and, in special cases, prizes and honours. To be able to evaluate the life and work of a person in its completeness, DBE only contains people who are already dead.

Access to Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon Online / Artists of the World Online is via the “Find Database” header under the letter “A” or by searching on any of the words in its title.

Access to Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie / Dictionary of German Biography is via the “Find Database” header under the letter “D” or by searching on any of the words in its title.
