How do I say my job in Korean?
I am having a bit of trouble finding the correct translation for my job title in Korean and wondered if anyone could help.
I work as an 'architectural archivist' .
If anyone could help me discribe my job in Korean as well, it would be a huge help.
'I organise and catalogue valuable historical items for an architectural incorporation'
I would like to be able to talk about my work but it's confusing enough to talk about in English!
Thank you for any help with translating.

"건축물 기록보관사" is the term you are looking for, provided you have an official certificate/license issued by the government or an institution.
The suffix ~사 is indicative for this certificate.
의사: doctor
간호사: nurse
변호사: lawyer; attorney
판사: judge
검사: prosecutor

There would be a direct translation like 건축 아키비스트, but I should have looked for a dictionary to find out what 아키비스트 is. 아키비스트 is just a loan word from English.
건축 means the field of architecture and is very well known. There's no problem with architecture.
Can you consider yourself as a curator? If you can, you can say you are a 건축 큐레이터, which translates to architectural curator. If not, I'm sorry and I didn't intend any offense. 큐레이터(curator) is somewhat known, at least when compared to archivist.
If you are not satisfied with any option, you can just say where you work at, like 박물관(museum) or some company name.
I think 건축 아키비스트 is appropriate in professional context. For other contexts, it's your choice.
