Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England
http://www.pase.ac.uk/
A database which aims to cover all of the recorded inhabitants of
England from the late sixth to the end of the eleventh century. It
is based on a systematic examination of the available written
sources for the period, including chronicles, saints’ Lives,
charters, libri vitae, inscriptions, and coins.

Prosopography of the Byzantine World
http://www.pbw.kcl.ac.uk/
The Prosopography of the Byzantine Empire aims to record all
surviving information about every individual mentioned in Byzantine
textual sources, together with as many as possible of the
individuals recorded in seal sources, in the period 642-1261. This
is a large and complex database. The total number of persons
included (made imprecise by frequent expressions of doubt), is just
above 10,000. Because of the ways in which elements combine and
recombine, it is not possible to compare the size of the database
directly with a regular book. However it would be impossible to
compress this material into less than about 1400 pages, of which
around 10% would be in Greek, a significant element in Latin and a
small fraction (so far) in Arabic. [For a
commentary see Genealogists' Magazine (2007) 29:150]
