Portrait of Augustus Hamilton

Augustus Hamilton[1] (1 March 1853 – 12 October 1913) was a New Zealand ethnologist, biologist and museum director. He was born in Poole, Dorset, England on 1 March 1853.[2] He wrote on the fishing and seafoods of the ancient Māori people.[3] He also wrote on the art and workmanship of the Maori in New Zealand with a series of illustrations (from photographs).[4]

Hamilton became the second director of the Colonial Museum in Wellington, following James Hector, in 1903.[5][6] He was one of the principal ethnologists in New Zealand at the time; he helped develop the Māori Antiquities Act in 1901 and was the main proponent for building a National Māori Museum.[6] Hamilton was President of the Royal Society of New Zealand between 1909 and 1911; preceded by G. M. Thomson and followed by Thomas Frederic Cheeseman.[7]

Hamilton's scientific specimens and other collection items are at Te Papa and other New Zealand institutions.[8][9]

Family life

Hamilton married Hope Ellen McKain in Napier on 22 September 1882.[1] He had a daughter, Pearl, and a son, Harold.[1]

Hamilton died suddenly and prematurely in Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand in 1913.[2][5]
