Series XV. Observer Countries, undated

This series contains IUPAC’s Observer Countries files. Observer Countries were countries represented in IUPAC by Associate National Adhering Organizations. These countries participated in IUPAC activities but played no role in IUPAC’s governance. Each individual Observer Country was represented by a single Associate National Adhering Organization. An Associate National Adhering Organization could 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. The Observer Countries membership category was discontinued in November 2021.

Note - This series was removed from the collection and retained by IUPAC. A handful of files regarding Observing Countries are preserved in the Addenda to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Records.
