Description (What the record is about)
-
Formal notifications made by the Secretary of the International Whaling commission to the member governments of legal, financial and procedural matters as required by the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.
The formal notifications in this series were issued as circulars by the commission following each annual meeting. Circulars were also used to convey other information, not mandatorily required by the convention, of relevance to whales and whaling generally. From the 1960s, as the work of the commission's Scientific Committee grew in importance, circular communications were used by the secretary as a way of maintaining contact with the committee, and to some extent provided a formal channel of communication between the committee and the commission.
