# Working Groups for Historical Periods ## expand\_more ### Purpose of the Working Groups The role of these working groups will be to judge proposals for data acquisition. In addition they will function as editorial boards in the evaluation of datasets and databases submitted for peer-reviewed publication through CBDB. Currently there are working groups for the: Qin, Han, and Medieval periods Tang and Five Dynasties Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan Ming and Qing In the future we expect that the working groups will become more specific. At present CBDB is not yet ready to make a concerted effort to collect twentieth-century and contemporary biographical data. For references to work in this area consult the relevant presentation for the First International Workshop on Biographical Databases.
