The latest update of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (DNB), published this week, contains 228 new biographies of men and women who left their mark on the UK.
All the new entries passed away during 2016.
The Oxford DNB is the national record of men and women who have shaped local history, worldwide, from prehistory to the year 2016.
The latest edition includes biographies of 63,693 individuals, written by more than 14,000 contributors.
Among the new entries is Edward Daly, who served as the Bishop of Derry from 1974 to 1993.
In January 1972 he was caught up in the events of Bloody Sunday.
And a photograph of him waving a bloodied white handkerchief in front of a group of men carrying the dying teenager Jackie Duddy came to symbolise the events of that day.
Appointed Bishop of Derry in 1974, he was a firm opponent of violence and advocate of reconciliation.
And he worked particularly closely with successive Anglican bishops of Derry and Raphoe, Robin Eames and James Mehaffey, who died this week.
