In museum storage area, Maureen McCormick examines "Judith With the Head of Holofernes," a copy by Rembrandt Peale (American, 1778-1860) of a painting by Cristofano Allori (Italian, 1577-1621). The painting has been returned after being on loan to a traveling exhibit, "The Peale Family: Creation of a Legacy, 1770-1870," which was shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.   Gatekeeper of the Art Museum Maureen McCormick is "used to getting blank looks when I tell people I'm a museum registrar," she says.     McCormick, who is registrar of Princeton's Art Museum, describes her job as "a cross between a librarian and an air traffic controller. You could say I'm the gatekeeper of the museum, keeping track of what comes into our building and what goes out." For the Art Museum, that means approximately 400 acquisitions a year and approximately 60 loans to other museums. ...
