Series Description

Company Associates are organizations such as industrial companies, research and development institutions, scientific societies, or any other bodies interested in IUPAC’s activities, who are associate members of IUPAC. They support IUPAC financially and provide input to IUPAC’s Bureau on matters of concern to industry. Within IUPAC, the Company Associates are currently represented by the Committee on Chemistry and Industry.

Arranged in its original order (mainly chronological by date), the bulk of the Company Associates files regard IUPAC’s Company Associate Scheme, through which Company Associates were first admitted to IUPAC’s membership in 1969. A single file concerning Company Associates brochures is also preserved here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Company Associates files. Brochure drafts and mock-ups are preserved in this series as well.
