This bibliography represents an attempt to collect and annotate writing by Māori in English from the earliest documents to the time of compilation, which terminated in September 1998. It includes Māori writers in English, Māori translators of Māori texts, largely occurring in the period before 1870, and Māori writers transcribing, translating or in the original. Texts represented include fiction, prose, drama, nonfiction, medical reports, geographical accounts and oral accounts. The bibliography attempts to represent writing from all iwi of Aotearoa.
