Sir Alfred Claud Hollis GCMG CBE (12 May 1874 – 22 November 1961)[1] was British administrator who served as British Resident to the Sultan of Zanzibar between 1923 and 1929 and Governor of Trinidad and Tobago between 1930 and 1936 and author of a historical account of Spanish Trinidad.
Hollis was born in London, and was privately educated in England, Switzerland and Germany. He worked for a commercial company in German East Africa (1893–96) and in 1897 he was appointed assistant collector in the British East Africa Protectorate.[1] He wrote pioneering works on the Maasai (1905) and the Nandi people (1908).[1]
In 1913, Hollis took up the post of colonial secretary in Sierra Leone, and in 1920 he was appointed chief secretary in Tanganyika.[1] In 1924 he became British Resident Minister in Zanzibar.[1]
