Additional Description

Series Description

National Adhering Organizations (NAOs) are the national chemistry organizations that represent countries who are members of IUPAC. They play an active role in IUPAC’s governance. Each individual member country is represented by a single National Adhering Organization. A National Adhering Organization can be a national chemical council, a national chemical society, a national academy of science, or any other institution or association of institutions representative of national chemical interest.

Arranged in its original order (mostly alphabetical by country and chronologically by date), this series contains IUPAC’s Adhering Organizations files. They provide documentation of IUPAC’s dealings with its National Adhering Organizations between 1919 and 1971.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Adhering Organizations files. A few other miscellaneous materials, including conference documents, periodicals, and an example of Japanese calligraphy are preserved here as well.
