Sub-series Description
Arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains the Microscopy Society of America’s Executive Council Files. A majority of the files here were generated when the organization was known as the Electron Microscope Society of America (EMSA) and the Electron Microscopy Society of America (EMSA) respectively. The files in this sub-series document the Executive Council’s activities between 1944-2005. A large majority of the files concern the Executive Council’s meetings, which were typically held on a biannual basis. A small amount of materials concerning other miscellaneous Executive Council matters are also present here.
The contents of the Executive Council Files consist of a variety of materials. Reports and minutes make up the largest components of these files. Significant amounts of correspondence, agendas, legal documents, and financial documents are also found in the Executive Council Files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, appendices, notes, and publications are preserved here as well.
