Brief personal biographies have been gathered and published in collective biographies, sometimes called biographical encyclopedias or dictionaries. See [[New Zealand Encyclopedias and Dictionaries]]. Usually these only include biographies of prominent or well‑known citizens of New Zealand and of the Maori people.
