Subject Guides » Books » Reading Lists » Biography and Memoir
Forbes offers a huge array of biographies and memoirs, spanning all subjects and time periods. Many of these are shelved in the Biography section (E), but many are located elsewhere in the library; browsing the E section, while fun, will not reveal all the biographical material in our collections.
To find a particular biography please consult the catalog or ask a librarian.
