Records of a commission whose purpose was to develop statements of stratigraphic principles; review problems and to recommend procedures applying to classification and nomenclature of stratigraphic and related areas. A number of individuals, including Charles Deiss, Norman Lasca, Steve Oriel, John B. Patton created or compiled the collection. Most of the collection consists of general files (1948-1989), arranged chronologically, containing correspondence, minutes of meetings, and reports of the NACSN. The general files document annual meetings of the commission; the development and revisions of the stratigraphic code; activities of subcommittees; and the writing of the Commissions published notes and reports. The collection also contains extensive files of the Code Committee (1977-1983) which coordinated a complete revision of the code. The Code Committee files include scattered records of its subcommittees. The records of the Quaternary Advisory Group contain correspondence, minutes of meetings, and reports concerning terminology and stratigraphic principles and applications of Quaternary stratigraphic concepts. Finding aid available in the Archives.
