Series Description

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this series contains a handful of Microanalysis Society correspondence files, which were generated when the organization was known as Electron Probe Analysis Society of America (EPASA) and the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) respectively. The files in this series contain correspondence generated by the following society officers: Roger B. Bolon, Charles E. Fiori, Joseph I. Goldstein, Kurt F.J.
