We use "Exhibitions and Collections Manager" for a position with these same
responsibilities.

>Having worked in Cultural Resources Management, that title would be
>misleading in the musuem setting as you are describing it.  How about
>"Collections and Museum Resources Coordinator" or "Collections Coordinator"
>or "Museum Resources Coordinator" since you are describing a
>multi-dimensional position which overseas and coordinates various areas and
>functions of the museum?

>>exhibitions,
