University of Otago academic Dr Chris Brickell tells the evolving history of New Zealand gay men accessibly, through the lives of individual clerks, labourers, gardeners, soldiers, actors, writers; working class and middle class men; mostly urban but sometimes rural or small-town men. A landmark publication, this first-ever New Zealand gay male history combines lively, engaging scholarship with a remarkable collection of just under 300 images, spanning the book's period: 1830 to 1980.

Epigraph
Dedication
Finally, but most importantly of all, I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to my partner, Jeffrey Vaughan. He has taken such good care of me over the last twelve years. He manages to keep me grounded mo0st of the time, yet he rarely complains when my mind wanders off into into the sometimes arcane world of academic research. I could not have written Mates & Lovers without Jeffrey's love and support, and I dedicate this book to him
First words
On 17 March 1888, Mr Collie and Mr Greem arrived at the door of a Wanganui photographer's studio.
