The Dictionary of the Georgian National Biography is the first English-language compilation of biographies of men and women, whose lives have influenced the Georgian culture and history. The dictionary includes biographies from all periods of history and all walks of life. It is not simply a dictionary of "Georgians," but rather of people of every ethnic background, who contributed to the historical development and cultural diversity of the Georgian society. In addition, the Dictionary includes profiles of the sons and daughters of Georgia who have distinguished themselves abroad.
