Series Description
This series contains IUPAC’s Medicinal Chemistry Section files. This section concerned itself with matters regarding medicinal chemistry. In 1997, the Medicinal Chemistry Section merged with the Clinical Chemistry Division to form the Chemistry and Human Health Division.
Arranged in its original chronological order by date, the Medicinal Chemistry Section files provide documentation of the Medicinal Chemistry Section activities between 1924 and 1970. Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in these files. A few other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, reports and notes are preserved here as well.
