"The "Biographie-Portal" or “Biographical Portal”
is a cooperative project of the Bavarian State Library, the Historical Committee at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities,
the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the Foundation Historical Dictionary of Switzerland.
As such, it would qualify as a Pan-European project, but the focus is decidedly on German-language biographical resources
and it is, therefore, listed here. In sum, the "Biographie-Portal" provides a common search interface to the following well-known resources:

Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB) [Universal German Biography]
Neue Deutsche Biographie (NDB) [New German Biography]
Österreichisches Biographisches Lexikon 1815-1950 (ÖBL) [Austrian Dictionary of Biography 1815–1950]
Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz (HLS) [Historical Dictionary of Switzerland]

In addition to this unified portal to biographical resources, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek has completed capturing the full text of the
Allgemeinen Deutschen Biographie (ADB) / Neue Deutsche Biographie (NDB). Biographic entries on over 46,000 personalities are now searchable in full text through the site.

The NDB is a biographical dictionary published in German language by the Historical Committee at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities and printed by Duncker & Humblot in Berlin. The NDB is the successor to the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB). The currently most recent volume is the 24^_th, covering names from "Schwarz" to "Stader" was published in february 2010. Since 1953 more than 21,000 biographies of families and deceased persons who have had a significant impact on developments in scholarship, arts, technology, medicine, economics, politics or social life have been published. Only persons and families with a close relation to the German language area are recorded. Each individual article is signed by its author.

All NDB articles usually contain biographical, genealogical and bibliographical information such as date and place of birth, date and place of death, parents, marriages, divorces, number of children, alternate and birth names, academic degrees, a curriculum vitae in whole sentences, a valuation of the subject's political, economic, social, scientific, technical or artistic achievements, sources and a bibliography. An index cataloguing all articles is freely available on-line.
