About the author

Listed in Project Gutenberg as the author of Venereal Diseases in New Zealand (1922), this name refers to New Zealand's Committee of the Board of Health rather than to an individual person. The book is presented as an official report prepared for the Hon. Minister of Health and laid before New Zealand's General Assembly.

The report itself names a committee chaired by Hon. W. H. Triggs and including medical and public figures such as J. S. Elliott, J. P. Frengley, Lady Luke, and Sir Donald McGavin. That makes this "author" best understood as a government-appointed body assembled to investigate a specific public-health problem and recommend action.

Because this is a corporate or institutional author, there does not appear to be a single personal biography or portrait to attach. Project Gutenberg currently lists one work under this name: Venereal Diseases in New Zealand (1922).
