The Role of the Royal Ontario Museum’s Registration Department

A graduate of Birmingham City University in the United Kingdom, Chris Jamroz serves STG Holdings, LLC, as its CEO and oversees the company’s logistics, warehousing, and container freight solutions. Further, Chris Jamroz is part of the board of governors for the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), which has provided visitors with access to remarkable exhibits since 1914.

The ROM operates a registration department that works alongside its curatorial teams to ensure the safe acquisition and loan of exhibits and objects. Further, the registration department takes responsibility for handling the ROM’s certification applications and oversees any grant applications it makes to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board. As such, the ROM’s registration department plays a pivotal role in drafting copyright agreements and performing full examinations of incoming and outgoing objects, all while serving as the central contact point in regards to each object transaction.

Beyond this, the registration section keeps the ROM’s databases up to date while handling insurance concerns related to the museum’s collection, with the overarching goal of protecting the ROM’s best interests.

The Royal Ontario Museum’s Traveling EduKits

Further to its exhibits, the ROM offers a range of educational packages for those studying outside of its building. Chief among these are its Traveling EduKits, which are packages of ROM materials that schools, museums, and libraries can rent to offer students hands-on time with some of the museum’s exhibits, including specimens, reproductions, and models. Each kit comes with a full lesson plan that meshes with Ontario’s K-12 educational curriculum.

The ROM makes its traveling EduKits available in four packages, with the smallest offering designed for individual study or for use with small groups of students. Its deluxe package contains enough materials to conduct lessons for two classes, each with 25-30 students. Further, the museum offers organizations the option to rent an EduKit for anywhere from two weeks to a full school year.
