The National Museum of Australia's Registration team is connected with all aspects of the life of objects as they move through the Museum.

Registration manages the physical, intellectual and legal control of the National Museum's collections.

The team is responsible for cataloguing, storage, access, loans, security and transport.

Registration also covers information and archives management and photography.

Registration is organised into four teams:

Collections Documentation and Accessions

Collections Locations

The Registration team is led by Carol Cooper.
