Sackler Gallery, presided over collections management, curators, conservation and scientific research, library/archives, photography, and publications. Forrest McGill held the post from 1989 until 1991. He was succeeded by Thomas W. Lentz, 1992-1994. After 1994, this position was reorganized. The Assistant Director, Research and Collections Division was dissolved, and the Deputy Director took on many of its duties (with Lentz as the incumbent).
