[NHCOLL-L:2731] Fwd: Fwd: Re: FW: Registrar vs. Collections Manager vs.Curator of Collections

[Richard Monk]

True.  But then you get the odd job titles like "Curator of Collections" or 
"Curatorial Associate" for the person who does a combination of those 
tasks.  And don't forget to add database development, data management and 
archives management to the list of duties.

Just thought I'd throw a monkey-wrench into the works...
