History
A Century-Old Tradition
One of Australia's oldest and most respected reference titles, Who's Who in Australia began as the vision of South Australian sub-editor, Fred Johns.
Following his arrival in Australia in 1884, Johns compiled a volume of biographies of notable living compatriots. First published in 1906, Johns's Notable Australians contained nearly 1,100 entries representing a wide range of endeavours. Subsequent editions were published in 1908, 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1922, before the book first appeared as Who's Who in Australia in 1927.
Although Johns passed away in December of 1932, his legacy lived on, steadily earning a reputation as the most reliable source of information on prominent Australians. Now published annually, every edition of Who's Who in Australia continues the tradition of prestige and accuracy that was the hallmark of Fred Johns' work more than a century ago.
