Series Description
The Executive Committee is the body established by IUPAC’s Bureau to ensure the orderly discharge of IUPAC functions between meetings of the Bureau. Its membership is composed of eight members, which include the President, Vice-President, Secretary General, Treasurer, and immediate Past President. Other members are elected by the Bureau from among its Elected Members.
Arranged in its original order (mainly chronologically by date), this series contains IUPAC’s Executive Committee files. The files in this series mainly document Executive Committee meetings held between 1948-1954.
Meeting minutes make up the bulk of the materials in the Executive Committee files. A single file containing international circulars generated by the Executive Committee is preserved here as well.
