The book chronicles the efforts initiated in April 1990 to organize the International Mathematical Union's archives and document its history. The Executive Committee's decision, influenced by Professor K. Chandrasekharan's handwritten article on the Union's prehistory, highlights the challenges faced in cataloging extensive materials stored in Zurich. Initially, Tuulikki MakeUiinen was considered for the task, but the overwhelming volume of documents necessitated a more comprehensive approach to preserve the Union's legacy effectively.
