About Guy Hardy Scholefield
Scholefield was a journalist, historian, and librarian. Together with Emil Schwabe, he edited the 1908 edition of Who's who in New Zealand and the western Pacific. He was the primary editor of the two 1940 volumes of the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. For the two volumes, he received an honorarium from the government of ₤300. The 1940 edition was part of a series a state-funded publications celebrating the country's centenary. The agreement with Scholefield allowed for further editions and corrigenda at perhaps ten-yearly intervals. By 1955, Scholefield had enough material for a third volume covering the 1941–1951 period, but this did not go ahead. Instead, the government approved in 1959 the production of An Encyclopaedia of New Zealand by the then-parliamentary librarian, Alexander Hare McLintock. Government officials regarded that there was thus no need for a third volume and whilst they allowed for Scholefield to privately issue a supplement, they did not allow him to have the original volumes reprinted. By then, the original print run of 2,000 copies had sold out. The 1940 volumes have been scanned with OCR technology, resulting in searchable PDFs, and put online.
