You will participate in all aspects of collection care: acquisition, record keeping, storage, conservation, loans and deaccessioning, as well as managing the volunteer staff to help you in your collections efforts. You will oversee the development and maintenance of the museum collection management system to account for museum property and oversee the storage and exhibit environments.

Additionally, the Museum Registrar writes interpretive plans and narratives for the large number of varied exhibits in the CIA museum.
