LATEST UPDATE OF APRIL 2008:
THE DICTIONARY OF FALKLANDS BIOGRAPHY
The Dictionary of Falklands Biography Project is a voluntary project which intends to research and publish details on everyone of significance or interest connected with the Falkland Islands and with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The DFB will start with the discovery of the Falklands in 1592 and conclude in1981, just before the Argentine invasion.
This website tells you all about the DFB project and invites you to get involved either by suggesting names to include by writing an article or by contributing information on the various personalities listed. Our aim, set out in the guidelines to authors, is to produce concise and definitive biographies centred on the time which our subjects spent in the Falkland Islands or South Georgia.
The website consists of the following pages:
A: This Home-Page
C: SUBJECTS: Alphabetically A-Z, Working list with authors A-Z
G: SOUTH GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS
WHO IS INVOLVED?
In Britain there is an editorial board, chaired by David Tatham, a former Governor of the Falkland Islands, who has researched and written on the Nineteenth Century history of the Islands. Other members of the board are:

THE TIMESCALE
To produce a complete and accurate Dictionary will require original research in archives in the Falkland Islands and in the UK. At present we have a list of five hundred names and we welcome further suggestions. Realistically it is unlikely that the Dictionary of Falklands Biography will be published before 2007. We envisage a volume of at least 300 pages with numerous illustrations.
