Two images showing the arrival of City of Adelaide (1864) were removed from the article because this vessel is not part of the collection of the South Australian Maritime Museum, and because it is currently owned by Clipper Ship City of Adelaide Ltd.

No worries, the article was started as a crude cut-and-paste from Port Adelaide by another editor. Both articles need more work, but I haven't had the time to get back to them. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 03:26, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Museum staff changes since 2018

[edit]

Hi all! Just popping in as a new Wikipedia user to advise that Mr Kevin Jones is no longer director of the SAMM and Ms Lindl Lawton is no longer curator either. As I am a new user, I didn't feel it right to just make these changes myself, so I thought I'd post and ask about the process for having this updated. In 2021, the History Trust of SA had a restructure and the position of 'Museum Director' at SAMM, the Migration Museum and the National Motor Museum was abolished. Now, all three History Trust museums fall under the leadership of Mr Paul Rees, who is "Head of Museums, Marketing and Major Events" (see https://maritime.history.sa.gov.au/about/people/). As for curators, during the restructure, the curatorship of each museum passed to a curatorial team, who serve all three museums concurrently, so there is no one person involved. Full disclosure: I am an employee of the History Trust, but I am not doing this in an official capacity, rather it has just bugged me for a long time and I wanted to do something about it. Cheers!
