Records of a commission whose purpose is to develop
statements of stratigraphic principles; review problems and recommend procedures
applying to classification and nomenclature of stratigraphic and related areas. Most
of the collection consists of general files, 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 Commission's
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.
