Series consists of photographs of the Annual Meetings of the Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Board of Governors of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) (now the World Bank Group) and its affiliates from 1946 through 1983. The Annual Meetings are traditionally held in Washington, DC (USA) for two years in a row and internationally in the third year. Authored by both IMF photographers and commercial photographers, the photographs have been kept in their original order and are arranged chronologically by year and then by event date or in groupings created by the photographers., Photographs include Annual Meetings chairmen, IMF and IBRD (World Bank) management, senior staff, and support staff, Executive Directors and Governors, their affiliates, world leaders, and others. Typical events covered include press conferences, addresses, speeches, social events, images used for technical requirements, and opening and closing ceremonies. Names of individuals and events have been listed, where they have been identified. In addition, for each of the Annual Meetings, the IMF published summary proceedings which can also act as an aid in further identifying senior-level Annual Meetings attendees, delegations, and groups. These summary proceedings are available in the IMF Archives reading room., For preservation reasons, photographic negatives are generally stored separately from prints and contact sheets. Corresponding negatives and prints can be matched together in the following way: with the archival file number, a cross-reference note assigned by the archivist, or with the arrangement schema originally established by IMF photographers. In addition, 35mm slides are stored separately from negatives and prints and can be found in the IMF Archives Slide Box, arranged alphabetically by series., SECRC Annual Meetings photographs are housed in 114 archival boxes. Boxes 1 through 74 consist of negatives and their corresponding prints and contact sheets. Boxes 75 through 114 consist of corresponding oversize photo albums.
