Series XII. Analytical Chemistry Division (Division V), 1963-1994

This series contains the files of IUPAC’s Analytical Chemistry Division. Established in 1949, it concerns itself with the general aspects of analytical chemistry, including separation methods, spectrochemical methods, electrochemical methods, nuclear chemistry methods, and applications to human health and the environment.

Arranged in its original order, the Analytical Chemistry Division files mainly document the activities of several bodies that were either formed or placed under the Analytical Chemistry Division’s oversight. The bodies represented in this series include the division’s Committee, the Commission on General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry, the Commission on Microchemical Techniques and Trace Analyses, and the Commission on Electroanalytical Chemistry. Several files regarding reports circulated to the Analytical Chemistry Division’s Committee members, which concern various topics, are also preserved here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Analytical Chemistry Division files. A significant number of reports are also found in this series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including publications and papers, are preserved here as well.

Note - For material on the Compendium of Analytical Nomenclature, produced by the Analytical Chemistry Division in 1976, see Box 199 Folders 1-3.
