Series IV. Finance Committee, 1965-1997

The Finance Committee is an Advisory Committee established to oversee IUPAC’s finances. Its duties include advising the President and Executive Committee on financial matters, making financial recommendations to the President and/or Executive Committee, reviewing IUPAC’s securities, and purchasing and selling securities held by IUPAC. The Committee’s membership is composed of a Chair and four Titular Members. In addition, IUPAC’s Treasurer and Executive Director serve as non-voting members.

Arranged in its original order (mainly chronological order by date), this series contains IUPAC’s Finance Committee files. The files in this series mainly document Finance Committee meetings held between 1967 and 1997. They also document IUPAC’s financial dealings between 1965 and 1997 and provide information regarding IUPAC’s financial condition during that time period.

The contents of the Finance Committee files consist mainly of correspondence and financial documents, including, but not limited to statements, reports, balance sheets, and budgets. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including minutes, notes, and agendas are preserved here as well.

Note - Materials dealing with the earlier years of the Finance Committee (1919-1950) are found in Box 196 Folders 3-6 and Box 197 Folders 1-3.
