George Hudson (entomologist)
[2] His shift-work job gave him leisure time to collect insects, and led him to value after-hours daylight.[5] In 1933, Hudson was the first recipient (together with Ernest Rutherford) of the T. K. Sidey Medal, set up by the Royal Society of New Zealand from funds collected to commemorate the passing of the Summer-Time Act 1927.Between 1881 and 1946, Hudson recorded information in three handwritten volumes that described thousands of species, inventing his own coding system.In 2018, Te Papa launched a crowd-sourcing project calling for digital volunteers to help decipher those codes, which will then allow conservation entomologists to compare Hudson's records with the status of those same insects today.[10] Hudson died on 5 April 1946 at his home "Hillview" in the Wellington suburb of Karori.
