History
The Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology (ROMA) was created in 1912 by a bill in the Ontario legislature, ‘An act to provide for the establishment of provincial museum’, known as ‘The Royal Ontario Museum Act. By-laws under that act allowed departments of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) to be designated as the ‘Royal Ontario Museum of…’. The ROMA was one of the five museums making up the Royal Ontario Museum.
The ROM was controlled and managed by a Board of Trustees, with each department headed by a director. Charles Trick Currelly was the first director of ROMA. In 1955 the ROM was reorganized, and the separate museums became divisions, with ROMA becoming the division of Art and Architecture, supervised by a head.
