I liked the fact that Ilana used a lot of information that we've learned this far in the course and in the Collections Management course. I may add that the registrars also work a lot with preparators in that preparators often create (from scratch) or retrofit the crating (which I've assisted with and in retrofitting them), pack the objects, assist with disaster preparations (movement of objects away from the problems, which I've been unfortunately lucky to be included in a small flooding of a storage room), etc. but they are often given orders by the registration/collections staff since the registration staff essentially has to deal with the repercussions of bad storage environments, improper object handling, make shipping arrangements, etc. I also believe that museum studies isn't a required subject area but often have backgrounds that are included in the subject of the museum (e.g. biology, anthropology, art history, history, Library Sciences, and the already mentioned museum studies BA's/Advanced Degrees)

I think you picked an important role as the registrars no matter the size of the museum must consider some preventative conservation. There is so much you could talk about with the registrar role and you did a great job at highlight the important and more frequent tasks that they would do. It was very well written, included reliable research, and up to date. They layout of the page is easy to navigate and I like that you included education/experience as that can differ for the various museum roles. We can see with your post that there is some overlap with collections roles within different types of museum but everything you mentioned is important to the registrar role.
