The International Union of Crystallography (IUC) is a scientific union of the International Council for Scientific Unions (ICSU). Its objectives are to promote international cooperation in crystallography and to contribute to all aspects of crystallography, to promote international publication of crystallographic research, to facilitate standardization of methods, units, nomenclatures and symbols, and to form relationships between crystallography and other sciences.
In 1946, the Provisional International Crystallographic Committee was formed to explore the possibility of publishing an international journal of interest to the crystallographic community. This journal committee met in July 1946 to discuss what parent organization should assume responsibility for the proposed journal, or whether the field of crystallography needed independent representation. It was agreed unanimously to recommend the immediate formation of a separate International Union of Crystallography.
The Draft Statutes and By-Laws were submitted to ICSU and on 7 April 1947 the International Union of Crystallography was formally admitted to ICSU.
Paul Peter Ewald was a member of the International Union of Crystallography Executive Committee from 1948 to 1966, and the President of the IUC from 1960 to 1963.
(Condensed from the website of the International Union of Crystallography, 04/23/2007)
The records of Paul Peter Ewald contain correspondence, published reports, minutes and agendas of meetings, and miscellaneous directories and newsletters. Materials were collected by Ewald in his position as member of the International Union of Crystallography (IUC) Executive Committee and as IUC president. Ewald's files document the activities of various committees of the IUC during his terms of office, particularly meetings held by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and meetings held jointly with the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). Most correspondence is with Donald W. Smits, General Secretary of the IUC.
