Additional Description

Sub-series Description

This sub-series contains the files of IUPAC’s Applied Chemistry Division. Established in 1949, it concerned itself with a number of areas of applied chemistry, including food preservation, fermentation, oils and fats, industrial hygiene, wood products, and pollution chemistry. The Applied Chemistry Division was reconstituted and renamed the Chemistry and the Environment Division in 1996.

Arranged in its original order, the files in the Applied Chemistry Division files specifically document the activities of the following seven bodies that were formed or placed under the Applied Chemistry Division’s oversight:
  1. Ad Hoc Committee on Applied Chemistry
  2. Commission VI.1: Preservation of Food Products by Chemical Substances
  3. Commission VI.2: Fermentation Industries
  4. Commission VI.3: Oils and Fats
  5. Commission VI.4: Industrial Hygiene
  6. Commission VI.7: Pulp, Paper, and Board
  7. Commission VI.8: Water, Sewage, and Industrial Waste

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Applied Chemistry Division files. A variety of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, minutes, programs, and reports are preserved here as well.
