A biography is a history of a person's life. In a biography you may find the individual's birth, marriage, and death information, and the names of his parents, children, or other family members. Use the information carefully because there may be inaccuracies.

Few Argentinian ancestors were the subject of biographies. There are some biographical sources for Argentina and those that exist usually include the most notable citizens.

Thousands of brief biographies have been gathered and published in collective biographies, sometimes called biographical encyclopedias or dictionaries. These usually only include biographies of prominent or well-known citizens of Argentina and Latin America. Others feature biographies of specific groups of people, such as professional groups or religious organizations.

Argentina has several good collections of biographies. Extensive and significant biographical encyclopedias or dictionaries that cover all of Latin America, Spain, and Portugal are:

  • Herrero Mediavilla, Victor and Lolita RosaAguayo Nayle. Indice biográfico deEspaña, Portugal e Iberoamérica(Biographical Index of Spain, Portugal andLatin America). New York: K. G. Saur, 1990. (FS Library book {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|584771|title-id|disp=920 In2}}; fiche {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|6002170|film|disp=6002170}}–6002172.)
