This book is about the biography of all the personalities that have held representative posts in the Society throughout its 80 years of life: The Biographical dictionary of Eusko Ikaskuntza. 1918-1998.

This publication, edited in Basque and Castilian, collects more than 150 biographies with basic data on each of the personalities: place and date of birth, academic instruction, professional activity, thematic research areas, activity in Eusko Ikaskuntza and his/her most relevant publications. This publication therefore becomes a comfortable tool to accede into the professional profile of some of the cultural personalities of the Basque Country, a book of reference to know who is who in the current Basque scientific community and a way of getting acquainted with the plurality of the associates of Eusko Ikaskuntza.
