''The Cyclopedia of New Zealand: industrial, descriptive, historical, biographical facts, figures, illustrations'' was an encyclopaedia published in New Zealand between 1897 and 1908 by the Cyclopedia Company Ltd of Christchurch. Six volumes were published on the people, places and organisations of provinces of New Zealand. Despite being vanity press (articles were largely paid for by their subjects) and almost wholly restricted to white male European colonists to the exclusion of Māori, women and other minorities, the ''Cyclopedia'' is now a key historical resource because of its breadth of coverage. Many small towns and social institutions were covered which were poorly covered by contemporary news papers. * Volume 1. Wellington Provincial District. Published 1897 * Volume 2.
