Records, 1922-2000 (1955-1998).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81162081

This collection contains the correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, publications, and financial and historical documents of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). The collection constituted the archives of the IUGG and was previously maintained by each successive Secretary General of the Union. The bulk of the records documents the activities of the Secretary Generals through correspondence with Union officers, member countries, and associations, and with other related organizations within the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The records are organized into series following the original order of the Secretary Generals. The majority of records of Secretary General Georges R. Laclavere, dating from 1955 to 1963, are in 26 cloth bound volumes labeled "Chronos" for strictly chronological files of correspondence, or "CIR" for circulars and other reports arranged chronologically and individually numbered. Beginning with the records of Secretary General George D. Garland in 1963, the records are organized into subject categories based on the office, country, committee, association, or activity to which each record relates.
