| The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is a collection of 50,000 specially written biographies of men and women who have shaped all aspects of the British past, from the earliest times to the end of the year 2000. The stories of these lives - told in substantial, authoritative, and readable articles - will be published simultaneously in 60 print volumes and online in September 2004.
Oxford University Press are celebrating the publication at the British Council in Berlin and there will also be a demonstration of the online edition of the Dictionary. Professor Christopher Harvie from Tübingen University will give a talk entitled 'A Looming Alp-Height: 120 years of National Biography'.
