visual-art:registrar
Tracked, documented, and safeguarded the location and records of works.
A registrar tracks, documents, and safeguards where each work is and what is known about it. The registrar assigns each object a permanent number, writes its condition report, logs every move, and keeps its ownership history true, so the work stays findable over time. The artist, the curator, and the donor hand their work in; the registrar keeps it reachable so galleries, conservators, and researchers can take it up. Steady records that locate a work and hold its story are what this trade adds.
