Administrative history

The Museum Board, which existed 1966-1996, consisted of five members who served for one year. Two members were Councillors and three were members of the Dartmouth Museum Society.

The Board's purpose was: to operate a public museum; to set admission fees and to make rules for the operation of the museum and caring for its property; to acquire artifacts and other material; and to compile information and preserve property relating to the history of Dartmouth. The Board reported monthly to the Clerk-Administrator and yearly to Council. It also appointed a Director.
