Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woordenboek
The Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woordenboek (NNBW) ( German : New Dutch Biographical Dictionary ) is a Dutch national biography that was published in ten parts by Sijthoff in Leiden between 1911 and 1937 under the editing of Philipp Christiaan Molhuysen and Petrus Johannes Blok . It includes the short biographies of over 22,000 well-known Dutch people whose death dates up to 1910.
The follow-up project of the NNBW is the Biografisch Woordenboek van Nederland (BWN).
The biographical reference work was digitized in a joint project of the Instituut voor Nederlandse Geschiedenis (Institute for Dutch History, ING) and the Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren (DBNL) and is accessible free of charge on the websites of the respective institutions.
