Series Description

This series contains IUPAC’s Publications files. Arranged in its original chronological order by date, the files in this series concern the various issues pertaining to publications printed by IUPAC between 1919 and 1970, including, but not limited to, the preparation and production of publications, legal matters, and financial matters. Of note are the files in Boxes 97-99, which document IUPAC’s business dealings with Butterworth & Company, Limited (a British legal, medical, and scientific publisher), which published IUPAC publications.
