You have to love the British: a flashlight is a torch, an elevator is a left--and a keeper is a curator--for the person keeps the collection organized and protected.

This might sound elementary. I am helping a friend with her resume. She speaks very little English, and she tells me that in Egypt, she was the keeper at a museum. I do not know how to translate this. Could anyone tell me the American counterpart to a Keeper?
