The University of Michigan’s Faculty History Project provides brief biographies of its economics faculty and/or good portraits.
Hint: To get all the economists, when you search faculty, only enter “economics” into the space provided for “Position”.
A few examples:
Henry Carter Adams (1880-1921)
Frederick Manville Taylor (1893-1930)
Kenneth Eward Boulding (1949-1968)
Richard A. Musgrave (1947-1959)
