If you can't use 'Collections Manager' it seems to me that 'Curator of
Collections' is far preferable to some sort of really off-base title like
'Collections Coordinator'....it seems to me that managing collections is
part of caring for them and visa versa, and it's a heck of a lot more than
coordinating anything. What part of curation do you NOT do? What part do
you do? Maybe that would lead to another option. Perhaps the title
'Registrar' might work...it's often used for a pretty wide range of
collection management and record keeping responsibilities.

We have a "Collections Coordinator"... because unless you actually manage
staff at the university, you cannot have manager in your title.

Good Afternoon,
Recently, we were informed that our job title would be changing from Curator
of Collections to something that is better suited to what we actually do.
Our job is actually Collections Manager, but because we work for the City,
we cannot be called a Manager. What I would like to know is are there any
other Collections Managers out there that aren't called Collections
Managers? If so, what is your title?
Thank you in advance,
Ashley
