Series Description

The Executive Committee is the body established by IUPAC’s Bureau to ensure the orderly discharge of IUPAC functions between meetings of the Bureau. Its membership is composed of eight members, which include the President, Vice-President, Secretary General, Treasurer, and immediate Past President. Other members are elected by the Bureau from among its Elected Members.

Arranged in chronological order by date, this series contains IUPAC’s Executive Committee files. The files in this series mainly document the Executive Committee’s 60th thru 121st meetings, which were held between 1968 and 1995. A few files regarding various Executive Committee administrative matters are also preserved here.

The contents of the Executive Committee files consist mainly of correspondence. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of agendas, notes, and minutes are also found in this series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, reports, photographs, and questionnaires are preserved here as well.
