While editors do make selections and edit entries to a standard, the biographies truly belong to the people listed and reflect what they, themselves, consider to be important in their lives. Biographees are given an opportunity to update their entries through direct communication.
We also invite prominent, as-yet unlisted individuals to complete questionnaires from which new biographies are created. Further, editors regularly consult reliable sources of information presented by the government, businesses, academia, associations, and reputable media outlets, in order to update existing biographies or to create new ones.
Whether you are a serious researcher or a casual reader, we hope you will find The Aotearoa Maori Who’s Who to be as fascinating and enlightening as ever before.
