Its head is the [[Director of the British Museum]]. The British Museum was run from its inception by a 'principal librarian' (when the book collections were still part of the museum), a role that was renamed 'director and principal librarian' in 1898, and 'director' in 1973 (on the separation of the British Library).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/the_museum/about_us/management_and_governance/directors.aspx |title=Directors |publisher=British Museum |date=14 June 2010 |access-date=4 July 2010 |archive-date=1 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070701201603/http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/the_museum/about_us/management_and_governance/directors.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
