Overview and metadata sections

The Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) is a non-profit educational organization that arranges scientific conferences. Dedicated to building communities that advance the frontiers of science, the GRC brings together global networks of scientists to discuss the latest pre-publication research in their fields. In order to foster free and frank exchanges of ideas, note taking is discouraged and no formal records of the conferences are published.

The origins of the GRC date back to the late 1920s, when Johns Hopkins University's Department of Chemistry began an intermittent series of summer meetings to present new findings in chemistry and related fields. Neil E. Gordon, the Chair of Chemical Education at Johns Hopkins, soon took charge of organizing these meetings. Prominent academics from across the United States appealed to Gordon for permission to attend these meetings.

The organization that became the Gordon Research Conferences was founded in 1931, when Neil E. Gordon began organizing formal summer meetings held on an annual basis. The initial meetings were held under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University. Seeking a more remote location, Gordon moved the meetings to Gibson Island, Maryland in 1934, where they became known as the Gibson Island Conferences. In 1938, he persuaded the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to take a formal role in organizing the conferences, with himself serving as Director. Under the AAAS' auspices, the number of conferences grew. From 1938 to 1941, these conferences were known as the Special Research Conferences on Chemistry. In 1942, they were renamed the AAAS-Gibson Island Research Conferences.

In 1945, Gordon relinquished control of the conferences to his assistant, polymer chemist Sumner B. Twiss. In 1947, the conferences were moved to Colby Junior College (now known as Colby-Sawyer College) in New London, New Hampshire and renamed the Chemical Research Conferences. That same year, W. George Parks, a Professor of Chemistry at the Rhode Island State College (now known as the University of Rhode Island), was appointed Director. In 1948, in honor of founder Neil E. Gordon, the organization was renamed the Gordon Research Conferences.

Under W. George Parks' leadership (1947-1968), the GRC experienced significant growth. Parks moved Its headquarters to Rhode Island State College's campus in Kingston, Rhode Island. By 1956, the organization was holding thirty-six conferences with nearly four thousand participants from forty-six countries. That same year, the GRC was formally incorporated as a non-profit organization. Also under Parks' directorship, new conference sites were added in New England and the West Coast.

In 1968, Alexander M. Cruickshank, a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Rhode Island and W. George Parks' longtime assistant, was appointed Director of the GRC. Under Cruickshank's directorship (1968-1993), the GRC continued to grow rapidly. Additional conference sites in New England were added and the organization held its first overseas conferences in Italy (1990) and Germany (1991). The number of conferences and attendees also grew.

Carlyle B. Storm, previously Chief Scientist for the Energetic Materials and Testing Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, was appointed Director of the GRC in 1993. Under Storm's directorship (1993-2003), the GRC continued to experience rapid expansion. New international conference sites were added in Europe and Asia, including those in Switzerland, England, Hong Kong, and Japan. The GRC's headquarters were moved to a new building in West Kingston, Rhode Island in 2002. Storm retired as Director in 2003 and was succeeded by current President and CEO Nancy Ryan Gray (2003-Present).

The GRC currently organizes over 395 Gordon Research Conferences and Gordon Research Seminars per year in a wide range of scientific fields. It continues to maintain its policies of encouraging the informal free exchange of ideas and not publishing formal records of its conferences.

Series Description

This series contains the GRC's Director's Files. The contents of the Director's Files are arranged into the following five sub-series:

  1. Sumner B. Twiss
  2. W. George Parks
  3. Alexander M. Cruikshank
  4. Miscellaneous Correspondence and Documents
  5. Carlyle B. Storm
Sub-series Description

Sumner B. Twiss was the second Director of the Gibson Island Research Conferences (1944-1947). A Professor of Chemistry at Wayne University (now known as Wayne State University), Twiss assisted Neil E. Gordon unofficially while Gordon's official assistant John C. Krantz, Jr. was involved in war work. Following Krantz's resignation from the Gibson Island project, Twiss took over officially as Gordon's assistant. When Gordon resigned from the directorship for health reasons in 1944, Twiss became his successor. Twiss served in this capacity for two years before leaving it and Wayne University for a job in industry. He was succeeded as Director of the newly renamed Gordon Research Conferences by Dr. W. George Parks in 1947.

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains the GRC's Sumner B. Twiss files. The files in this sub-series document Twiss' activities with the Gibson Island Research Conferences. The materials in this sub-series mainly document Twiss' tenure as Director. A small amount of materials covering his stint as assistant to Neil E. Gordon are also preserved here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials in the Sumner B. Twiss files. Other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, conference documents, attendee lists, financial documents, and surveys are preserved in this sub-series as well.

Sub-series Description

Wilbur George Parks was the second Director of the of the newly renamed Gordon Research Conferences (1947-1968). A Professor of Chemistry at Rhode Island State College (now known as the University of Rhode Island), Parks assumed the directorship in 1947. He presided over a period of expansion for the organization, during which the conferences moved from Gibson Island, Maryland to Colby Junior College in New London, New Hampshire, then to a consortium of colleges and spread beyond the bounds of New England to the West Coast. He was succeeded by his longtime assistant Dr. Alexander M. Cruickshank in 1968.

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains the GRC's W. George Parks files. The files in this sub-series document Parks' activities as Director. Small amounts of materials predating and postdating his tenure as Director are also present here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials in the W. George Parks files. Other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, minutes, conference schedules, speaker abstracts, attendee lists, financial documents, and newsletters are preserved in this sub-series as well.

General Note

Box 43 contains files relating to the Selection and Scheduling Committee of the Gordon Research Conferences. The Selection and Scheduling Committee held great power which it could exercise in several ways. First, it decided which conferences would be scheduled and where they would be held. Second, when controlled by "activist" members, it could alter the entire thrust of Gordon Research Conferences by voting to drop outmoded conferences and replace them with conferences devoted to more cutting edge topics. (To chart the subsequent growth of the conferences, see Series IV. Attendee Lists.) Lastly, as a result of the Selection and Scheduling Committee's deliberations, individual conferences could, and did, secede from Gordon Research Conferences supervision to set up shop on their own or under rival groups.)

Sub-series Description

Alexander M. Cruickshank was the third Director of the Gordon Research Conferences (1968-1993.) A Professor of Chemistry at the University of Rhode Island, Cruikshank served as W. George Park's assistant during the latter's tenure as Director and succeeded him in this position following his resignation in 1968. Cruickshank was succeeded as Director by his assistant, Dr. Carlyle B. Storm in 1993.

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains the GRC's Alexander M. Cruikshank files. The files in this sub-series document Cruikshank's activities as Director. Small amounts of materials predating his tenure as Director are also present here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials in the Alexander M. Cruikshank files. Significant amounts of proposal and programs are also found in this sub-series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, attendee lists, agendas, reports, and minutes are preserved here as well.

Prior to assuming the directorship, he was Chief Scientist for the Energetic Materials and Testing Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Under Storm's leadership, the GRC experienced a great deal of growth, expanding both nationally and internationally. Storm was succeeded as Director by Nancy Ryan Gray in 2003.

Arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains the GRC's Carlyle B. Storm files. The files in this sub-series document Carlyle B. Storm's activities as Director between 1996 and 1999. Due to the GRC's expansion into an international organization during Storm's tenure, some materials that were once collected under Series IV (Attendee Lists) and Series V (Programs) are now included as part of Carlyle B. Storm's director's files.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials in this sub-series. Other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, booklets, abstracts, attendee lists, and programs are preserved here as well.
