Revision as of 10:17, 28 October 2025
Who Was Who is a book that is companion to A & C Black’s Who’s Who.
When the subject of a Who’s Who entry dies, the biography is transferred to the next volume of Who Was Who, where it is usually printed as it appeared in its last Who’s Who, with the date of death added.
The first volume of Who Was Who covered deaths between 1897 and 1915. They were then published at 10-year intervals, and since 1990 at five-year intervals.
