Very thorough list regarding the 10 primary environmental threats that contribute to the deterioration of museum collections. Within the the category of the Role of Registrars and Collection Managers, I found it insightful that you mentioned other members of museum staff that they work closely with to insure everyone is properly informed regarding preventive conservation and risk management. It is very important that all staff is educated on what to look for and monitor in the galleries, storage areas, as well as emergency preparedness and museum policies. Registrars and Collection Managers have many roles and I think you did a great job detailing their role in Preventive Conservation and Risk Management. Tfann28 (talk) 15:21, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

I like how concise your list of duties for the Registrar/Collections manager is, but I feel like you missed one major issue that they help to avoid, loss. Objects getting lost or misplaced happens often if there is no one keeping track. Registrars and Collections Managers have the great responsibility to keep track of all of the objects of the collection at all times. Every single move must be documented to ensure that the objects are where they should be, and this can be a major undertaking when exhibits are being installed or deinstalled, or when there is a major move. I do like that you mention how much Registrars and Collections Managers work with other staff, because they really do have many responsibilities, and I don't know how everything would get done without the help of the rest of the museum staff.
