      Historique

      The Royal Ontario Museum of Palaeontology (ROMP) was created in 1912 by Bill 138 in the Ontario Legislature. By-laws under that act allowed departments of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) to be designated as the ‘Royal Ontario Museum of…’. The Museum of Palaeontology 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. The first director of the ROMP was Professor William Arthur Parks. In 1955, the ROM was reorganized, and the separate museums became divisions, with ROMP becoming the division of Zoology and Palaeontology (later changed to the Earth Sciences Sciences division.)
