The ODNB is fantastically useful for UK and British Empire history; worth remarking in the UK context that here all you need for free access is a library card (not everyone knows that, it seems).

...in most areas, at least. Thirteen out of 194 public library services don't subscribe to the ODNB:
Aberdeen Central Library Bridgend Library and Information Service Caerphilly Libraries Carmarthen Library Conwy County Borough Council East Sussex Libraries Inverclyde Libraries Isle of Anglesey Library Service Neath Port Talbot Libraries North Tyneside Libraries Rotherham Libraries South Lanarkshire Libraries South Tyneside Libraries

- though note that in some cases, you may be able to get access via a neighbouring area if you're registered there.
