Series Description
The Council is IUPAC’s primary governing body to which the Bureau, Executive Committee, Standing Committees, Divisions, Commissions, and all other IUPAC bodies are responsible. Its membership is composed of Delegations from the National Adhering Organizations (NAOs). Regular meetings of the Council are held every two years as part of the General Assembly.
Arranged in its original chronological order, this series contains IUPAC’s Council records regarding the XXVth Council Meeting, which was held at Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy in July 1969. The contents of the files in this series consist mainly of correspondence. The Council’s “Short Report on Atmospheric Pollution” is also preserved here.
