Series Description
The Bureau is the body established by IUPAC’s Council to act on its behalf during intervals between Council Meetings. Its membership is composed of IUPAC’s President, Vice President, Secretary General, Treasurer, immediate Past-President, and Presidents of Divisions, together with at least ten other members elected by the Council who are known as Elected Members.
Arranged in chronological order by date, this series contains IUPAC’s Bureau files. The files in this series mainly document the Bureau’s 22nd thru 65th meetings, which were held at various locations between 1968 and 1994. A handful of Bureau business correspondence files are also preserved here.
The contents of the Bureau files consist mainly of correspondence. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of minutes, agendas, notes, and reports are also found in this series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, papers, membership approvals, and membership lists are preserved here as well.
