Series Description
National Adhering Organizations (NAOs) are the national chemistry organizations that represent countries who are members of IUPAC. They play an active role in IUPAC’s governance. Each individual member country is represented by a single National Adhering Organization. A National Adhering Organization can 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.
Arranged in its original order (mainly chronological by date), this series contains IUPAC’s National Adhering Organizations files. The files in this series provide documentation of IUPAC’s dealings with its National Adhering Organizations. Boxes 188 and 189 concern IUPAC’s relations with various National Adhering Organizations throughout the world between 1968 and 1993. The files in Box 190 concern IUPAC’s relations with its National Adhering Organization in the United States, the National Research Council, between 1921 and 1944.
Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the National Adhering Organizations files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials are preserved here as well.
