National Science Foundation Director Files, 1983-2004 (continued)
BOX 6-129 Meeting and Travel Files, 1998-2004
The Meeting and Travel Files subseries documents Colwell’s daily activities throughout most of her tenure as National Science Foundation director. These include meetings, interviews, speaking appearances, conferences, social gatherings, strategic planning sessions, budget rollouts, briefings, and foreign and domestic travel. Noteworthy engagements include congressional committee hearings, director’s policy group retreats, advisory committee meetings for various agency directorates, meetings with heads of research organizations, women’s history month planning events, a trip to Antarctica with members of the United States Congress, and meetings for the Commission on the Advancement of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering, and Technology Development (CAWMSET). Subjects include the National Ocean Research Leadership Council, G8 Heads of Research Councils, Computer and Information Science and Engineering advisory committee, and National Commission on Mathematics and Sciences Teaching for the Twenty-First Century. Files related to National Science Board meetings include task force reports, director’s reports, and meeting minutes and document strategic planning efforts, grants, and funding. Though meeting and travel files were assembled by Colwell’s staff to provide information to be used on a specific day, the files were subsequently updated to include follow-up letters, minutes, transcripts, and other related materials. The subseries contains very little documentation of Colwell’s meetings and travel in 1998.
Material types include daily calendars, schedules, correspondence, itineraries, briefing materials, speeches, email printouts, planners, notes, memoranda, agendas, meeting minutes, testimonies, and reports. Some presentations and other textual materials are in digital formats.
Arranged chronologically by meeting or travel date. The file structure of the digital content maintained as received.
