People who select, organize, and care for collections in museums, galleries, or other institutions, or who manage online content.
From Latin 'curator' (overseer, guardian), derived from 'curare' (to care for). The suffix '-or' indicates an agent noun. The plural form adds '-s' in English.
The word 'curator' originally referred to someone who cared for sick people—a healer! Over time it evolved to mean anyone who 'cares for' valuable things, which is why museum curators are essentially healers of cultural knowledge.
