The Collection Department deals with preservation of the heritage of Polish Jews as well as management of the POLIN Museum collection. The Department's employees - together with the Collection Chief Curator - acquire, study and develop Museum and archival collections, in line with the development strategy that has been agreed upon. Their tasks include producing records, conservation, digitization, sharing and loans of the collection, as well as formal and conservatorial management of temporary exhibitions.

The Collection Department is also reponsible for the activities of the Acquisition Commission, for developing a collection inventory, proper storage, transport and preservation of the collection, in order to make sure it continues to serve the future generations. The Department employees coordinate works relating to presenting objects from the collection on the Central Judaica Database, an online portal which boasts the Jewish cultural heritage items from the collections of POLIN Museum and its partner institutions.
