Each volume contains cumulative occupation and birthplace indexes.

Review:

"The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives has established a reputation as an authoritative source of biographical information on Americans deceased since publication of the final supplement to Scribner's Dictionary of American Biography. As part of the series, this volume is highly recommended as an essential reference work for medium-sized to large academic and public libraries."
