A Register of NZ Presbyterian Ministers was apparently first compiled and kept by the Rev WJ Comrie from the early 1900's up to the 1930's.

From about 1920, the Very Rev W.W. Howes commenced compiling his own comprehensive alphabetical resource of information on Presbyterian Ministers which he intended eventually typing out and presenting to the Church Office. Upon learning of this resource in 1938, the Rev Ian Fraser offered his personal assistance in the completion and publication of a register both for Church purposes and to mark the Centennial celebrations of the Dominion and of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand in 1940. The Rev WJ Comrie made a number of corrections to the draft manuscript from his own records. An additional Roll of Honour was also included of Theological Students, Ministers, Home Missionaries, Sons, Daughters, Wives and Brothers of the Manse, who had served and/or made the ultimate sacrifice during the "Great War" of 1914-18. The new 1940 Register was then typed in triplicate by Mrs HL Wilkinson with the assistance of Mr EJ Ward of the Presbyterian Book Room and finally personally bound in green Levant Morocco leather for Exhibition purposes by the Rev Ian Fraser.

From 1973 up until 1990, the Very Rev. Dr. Ian Fraser alone undertook the immense task of correcting and updating the initial entries while adding those Ministers, Home Missionaries, Deaconesses and overseas Missionaries ordained since 1940. He personally typed, printed and bound a new Register in 1989. Subsequent to the introduction of word processors, he methodically and painstakingly re-typed all the information into a computer database from which this current register was initially created.
