Historian, researcher (possibly even for period dramas or movies- things like that), museum worker.

From source quoted below:

Preservation Administration and Conservation

responsible for broad policies and practices that affect the holdings of an archives, insuring that the building’s temperature and humidity are adequate for the objects, and educating users and co-workers about the importance of preservation activities.

Processing
Prepare collections for use by researchers and create the tools that help those researchers find information within them. They “arrange” a collection by determining the best order for documents within a collection, and they “appraise” a collection by assessing the historical significance of materials in the collections and deciding whether the documents will be retained.

Acquisitions
Acquisitions archivists are responsible for bringing material into the collection. In an institution where state law or corporate policy decrees that material must be sent to the archives, this archivist insures that the appropriate material is actually received.
 
Excluding professor and teacher, you might try:
politician
writer
researcher
philosopher
anthropologist
archaeologist
librarian
diplomat
