International Union of Pure and Applied Physics
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics records, 1922-1999 (bulk: 1972-1999).
The majority of the documents in the archive are created by, or have been received by the Gothenburg secretariat and for that reason mirror IUPAP's activities from the Gothenburg secretariat's perspective. There are two exceptions: the Quebec secretariat, which has existed both previous to and parallel with the Gothenburg secretariat, and Transfermium, which is a working group for IUPAP and IUPAC. Included are minutes from Council meetings (1972-1999); correspondence, general reports (1923-1999); essays on IUPAP's activities (1922-1992); news bulletins (1973-1998); printed matter (1965-1990); Presidents' correspondence, commission correspondence (1972-1999); correspondence with liaison members (1947-1999); conference materials (1984-1999); General Assemblies minutes and reports (1975-1999); auditors' report and financial statements (1965-1998); Transfermium's correspondence (1975-1993). Prominently represented are: Robert Barber, D. Allan Bromley, Pierre Fleury, Wolfgang Heinicke, Larkin Kerwin, John R. Klauder, Rene Turlay.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) was founded in 1922. One of the organization's main purposes is to strive for scientific exchange in physics. This is done through international conferences and financial support to conferences arranged by other organizations. The IUPAP works to improve the possibilities for scientists to travel across borders despite political obstacles. Another of the IUPAP's purposes is to determine units and symbols. The organization is governed by the General Assembly which has its meetings every three years. The council is the executive body that supervises the activities of the International commissions. The IUPAP is subordinated to the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) which is an umbrella organization that aims to stimulate international science projects in, above all, natural science.
