Keeper of Palaeontology, Natural History Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Keeper of Palaeontology was formerly a palaeontological academic position at the Natural History Museum, London. The Keeper of Palaeontology served as the Head of the Department of Palaeontology: following reorganisation in 2013 the Departments of Mineralogy and Palaeontology merged to become the Earth Sciences department.[1]

Between 1813 and 1956 the department was known as the Department of Geology, and the head of the department as the Keeper of Geology.[2]
