Sub-series Description
Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains the Microanalysis Society’s Miscellaneous Administrative Files, which were generated when the organization was known as the Electron Probe Analysis Society of America (EPASA) and the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) respectively. These files provide documentation of some of the organization’s various administrative matters. Legal matters, membership matters, financial matters, and the activities of a handful of the organization’s committees (including the Meeting Management Committee and President’s Award Committee) are covered in this sub-series. A few files concerning the organization’s dealings with the Metropolitan Probe Users Group (which later became an affiliate of MAS) and the Washington Probe Users Group are also found here.
The contents of the Miscellaneous Administrative Files consist of a variety of materials. Correspondence makes up the largest component of this sub-series. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of legal documents, member lists, reports, and notes are also found in these files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, meeting minutes, certificates, and meeting agendas are preserved here as well.
