Chris Banks joined Aberdeen in October 2007 as the University embarked on one of the biggest and most important cultural projects undertaken in Scotland in recent years: the creation of a new £57million library.  With over twenty years' experience at the British Library, she is an active member of the Scottish Confederation of University Research Libraries, and the national and international arms of the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML).  Chris is a Trustee of the Britten-Pears Foundation; General Secretary of the New Berlioz Edition.

The Library and Historic Collections are at the heart of teaching, learning and research at the University of Aberdeen.  Holdings extend to over 1.2 million books, including 200,000 rare books; 4,000 archive and manuscript collections; and over 300,000 museum objects gathered over five centuries of the University's existence. These materials are complemented with an extensive online library of electronic books, journals, databases and digital objects and archives.
