(Daily Telegraph) The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is celebrating its first birthday with three days free online access from 23 to 25 September 2005. Everyone will be able to access the full Oxford DNB and its 55,000 biographies of the men and women who have shaped the history of Britain. How can I take advantage of the free access period? a..
