Chris Cottrill — New NASM Branch Librarian

The Libraries is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Cottrill as the new branch librarian for the National Air and Space Museum Library (NASM).

Chris has been the senior reference librarian at the National Museum of American History Library since 2000 and has been acting branch librarian there since Lu Rossignol left at the end of last year.

Chris has his BA and MLS from the University of Maryland. His BA was in military history which will serve him well in his new role at NASM, because of the role the military played in the development of aviation and air transportation.  In his MLS work, Chris concentrated on archives and records management and his first position was as a library technician at the National Archives and Records Administration.

Congratulations Chris!
