A bibliography for sources on members of the Bahá'í Faith.

A list of sources
There are some collections of periodicals, articles and even some dissertations and books available online:
 * Bahai.works collection of periodicals reporting events and activities which often will name individuals.
 * Bahai-Library.com's collections includes secondary sources including some collections of newspaper articles, monographs and materials that may well mention individuals or be biographies or community histories.

In terms of country information there are of course some articles in Wikipedia one can search for. Some individuals satisfy notability requirements. There are two such collections for individuals in Wikipedia:


 * List of Baháʼís
 * Category:Bahá'ís by nationality
 * Famous Baha'is another list of "famous" Bahá'ís over at Adherents.com

There is a similar if still developing list of people who have another level of notability but still gathered from various sources:


 * Category:Bahá'ís by country at Bahaipedia.org, an independent effort with similar policies to wikipedia.

There are a wealth of books about Bahá'ís such as provided at WorldCat but here's a list of books and articles that could help with countries: (still being developed)

America (the United States and Canada)
(even anyone has some suggestions on adapting syntax from wikipedia formats, I'd appreciate it…)

There are also collections of newspaper clippings like at newspapers.com by a few users: It is possible to search among them using google's "site" savy search of [terms] site:[url link of collection] or your favorite search engine that supports this approach.
