Specialist in cataloging, handling and collections care
Collection managers are responsible for the care, storage, documentation, and movement of objects within a collection. Their work requires understanding not only how individual objects should be handled and preserved, but also how the collection functions as a larger whole.
They help make sure that objects are properly housed, organized, tracked, and accessible for research, teaching, exhibitions, and long-term preservation. Collection managers often work closely with curators, conservators, registrars, educators, and other staff to support both the physical care of objects and the information connected to them.
A major part of their work involves translating curatorial knowledge, object histories, and preservation needs into clear collection records and databases. Through this documentation, collection managers help connect objects to their stories, locations, conditions, and future use. Their work supports both access and care, making sure that collections can be understood, protected, and shared over time.
