    Administrative history

    The Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology (ROMZ) 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 Zoology 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 ROMZ becoming the division of Zoology and Palaeontology (later changed to the Earth Sciences Sciences division.)
