During the Classics and Archaeology Discussion Group meeting in NYC, I
gave out my classics research guide URL as the location for finding books
of short biographies--but most are on the archaeology guide.
I have copied/pasted the sources below.
BTW, the NYC meeting was terrific--I learned a lot about a lot of things!
