Last Days of ASXRED and CSA

American Crystallographic Association formed
William Parrish

After more than a year’s study and discussion the members of the American Society for X‐Ray and Electron Diffraction and the Crystallographic Society of America have voted to form a single new society, the American Crystallographic Association. This new organization will eliminate the problems caused by the overlapping interests and memberships of the two previous societies but it is planned to continue similar types of meetings and publications. It now has about 500 members including physicists, chemists, physical chemists, mineralogists, metallurgists, mathematicians, and biologists from universities, government, and private research foundations and industrial research laboratories.
