A list has been prepared over many years of all medical practitioners, more than 3000, known to have been in New Zealand from 1840, when the country became a British colony, until 1930. The list includes not only those who were registered between those years, but also those qualified persons who were unregistered and those who were trained in medicine but unqualified, if they practised as doctors and were generally accepted by the public as such. Whatever information has been found on the various practitioners' life and work is given.
