Timeline
Sir Keith Sinclair (5 December 1922 – 20 June 1993) was a New Zealand poet and historian.
Sinclair was the oldest child of Ernest Duncan Sinclair and Florence Pyrenes Kennedy.
Born and raised in Auckland, Sinclair was a student at Auckland University College, which was then part of the University of New Zealand.
He was awarded a master's degree in 1946 and PhD at the college and was made a professor of history at the University of Auckland in 1963.
Sinclair won widespread acclaim for his first book of history, The Origins of the Maori Wars (1957).
His next book, A History of New Zealand (1959), is often regarded as a classic in New Zealand history.
In 1966, Sinclair and fellow lecturer Bob Chapman established The University of Auckland Art Collection, beginning with the purchase of several paintings and drawings by Colin McCahon.
The Collection is now managed by the Centre for Art Research, based at the Gus Fisher Gallery.
In 1967 he founded the New Zealand Journal of History.
In both his poetry and his work as a historian, Sinclair was a nationalist, in the sense that he was concerned with forging a national identity for New Zealand that was independent of its colonial origins.
In the 1969 general election he was the Labour Party candidate for Eden.
He won the electorate on the night, but was defeated 3 weeks later on the final count (including special votes) by only 67 votes.
< Later he wrote an acclaimed biography of Labour Prime Minister Walter Nash who had left his vast personal archives at Sinclair's disposal.
The book won the 1977 National Book Award.
In the 1983 Queen's Birthday Honours, Sinclair was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to literature.
Two years later, he was made a Knight Bachelor, for services to historical research and literature, in the 1985 Queen's Birthday Honours.
He then taught history at the University of Auckland until his retirement in 1987.
Halfway Round the Harbour, an autobiography, was published posthumously in 1993.
The book remains in print, being revised several times, the last, with additions by fellow academic Raewyn Dalziel, in 2000.
In 2003, the University of Auckland established the Keith Sinclair Chair in History in his honour.
In 2005, he was named one of New Zealand's Top 100 History Makers.
One of his sons is the actor Harry Sinclair; another, Stephen, is a New Zealand playwright and poet.
