adding pertinent history (Edit)

good morning! I have made some edits to a paragraph outlining the early history of the museum below. I am attempting to add these paragraphs to the history section of the page. As a disclaimer: I work for this institution and have declared so on my user page. I am attempting to fill in the history of the formation of the museum, prior to 1977.

Below are the paragraphs:

"In 1954 the Community of Daytona Beach formed the "Committee for the Foundation of a Children’s Museum in the Halifax Area" and announced their plans to form what would become "The Halifax Childrens Museum" in September of that year. The Board of Public Instruction granted the future museum the use of a converted Quonset hut located at the Mary Karl Vocational School, now on the Campus of Daytona State College. In the following year the Halifax Children’s Museum was officially incorporated as a non-profit corporation."

"In 1961 the “Halifax Children’s Museum” formally changed its name to the Museum of Arts and Sciences and began focusing on teaching science and history to adults and children alike. This necessitated a move from the Quonset style building, and in 1964 the museum moved to a new facility located on Daytona’s Tuscawilla Preserve."

Here are sources to the information below:

You need to declare your conflict on your user page, if you have not already done so. You cannot simply copy content into Wikipedia. If the content is under copyright and not released with a license that is compatible with the CC by SA license, you must rewrite the content in your own words with appropriate citations. If the content is in the public domain or released under a compatible free license, it is possible to copy the content, citing the source, but it is better to rewrite the content in your own words while citing the source. Since you do have a conflict of interest, it is better to request on the talk page that edits be made to the article, or to at least open a discussion on the talk page about any non-trivial edits before editing the article.

Thank you for the information. I was editing the paragraph at the time of your response and have also declared my association to the above institution on my user page. I am learning to better edit and navigate through the process as well. While I am editing a page I am directly associated with, I am attempting to do it for the earnest reason of filling in some the major gaps in our museum's history. Thank you for your help and information. It will certianly make me a better editor for future submissions Traverson (talk) 19:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

farther page edits and expanding on information

Good afternoon. I have made further edits to this page as follows: separated and expanded the section related to the "Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art", separated and expanded the section related to the "root family museum" and added source, added image of Giant Ground sloth located in prehistory gallery, added image of flyer used by planetarium in the 1970s. I have also made minor edits to the "Exhibits" section and farther minor edits made throughout the page to fix sentence structure and grammatical errors. As a disclaimer: I work for this institution and have declared so on my user page. I was not asked by the above institution to make these revisions but did so of my own volition to improve the accuracy and quality of the page. Traverson (talk) 17:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
