I know that Historicity of certain Old testament Kings is recognized.

However some like Jonah or Job aren't know to fields of Archaeology or History.

What information, evidence do we have and for what figures? (The list can include both known and unknown or debated figures)

Job is hard to place (for one) since there are two versions of his story and it is the oldest book in the scriptures. To understand what that means, it means that Job was in antiquity when Moses was leaving Egypt. – RiverC Jun 20 '12 at 18:38
@RiverC: besides the book of Job, what other version is there? – user1694 Jul 27 '12 at 12:10
The Greek Septuagint is significantly different than the Hebrew Masoretic. – RiverC Sep 12 '12 at 16:01

There are tons of resources. I've never seen an itemized list, but I've seen dozens of resources like this one.

Of course, you'll find that some findings are disputed, and as is the case with any science, new discoveries often change existing assumptions, so such a list would be ever-changing.

There is list of 61 such people here.

More at this set of search results.
