List of last survivors of historical events

A historical event can be defined as any occurrence from the past regardless of significance,[1] with the term "history" an umbrella term relating to past events and any associated memories, discoveries, collections, organizations, presentations, and/or interpretations of them. This differs from a historic event which is often less inclusive, and stands out as having made a significant impact on history itself.[2]

Living to the age of 106, Walter Walsh was the last member of the FBI teams that captured Arthur Barker and killed Al Brady.

The following is a list of notable people documented as the last living individuals to have witnessed, survived or participated in significant historical events or whom were the last living members of a historic group that directly contributed to such an event (e.g. Manhattan Project scientists). Excluded from this list are last living survivors of wars, speakers of languages, and others who are already recorded on pages representing more narrow categories.
