Series IX. Addendum - American Association for the Advancement of Science and Johns Hopkins University Materials, 1927-1980

Arranged in its original order, this series contains materials concerning the origins and early meetings of the organization that later became the Gordon Research Conferences. A majority of the files in this series concern the meetings organized under the auspices of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) during the late 1930s and 1940s. A single file concerning the early meetings organized by Johns Hopkins University during the 1920s and 1930s, which were held in Baltimore, Maryland and Gibson Island, Maryland, is also present in this series. A single file containing correspondence between the GRC and the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is also preserved here.

Correspondence and meeting minutes make up the largest component of the materials in this series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, financial documents, reports, conference handouts, and journal articles are preserved here as well.
