Correspondence, papers and minutes relating to the establishment of the International Congress, 1931-3.

The last pre-war meeting of the Congrès international, d’Anthropologie et d’Archeologie préhistoriques was held in Geneva in 1912. In Oct. 1928 the Institut international d’Anthropologie, Paris, with the consent of the surviving members of the Permanent Committee of the old Congrès, agreed to ‘assure the continuity’ of the old Congrès by convening the 15th Congrès concurrently with its own 4th session in Portugal in Sep. 1930. However at this meeting in Sep. 1930 due to measures taken by the IIA members of the Congrès were deprived of a vote unless they were also members of the IIA. The 15th Congrès was adjourned as a result. A ‘petit comité’ was then set up at Oporto on 27 Sep. comprising the survivors of the Permanent Committee, the Presidents of the IIA and RAI and any co-opted members to consider the relations between the IIA and the Congrès. It met in Paris on 22 Dec. 1930. Sir John Myres, President, RAI maintained the separation of the management of the two organizations was essential. The majority agreed that the Oct. 1928 agreement had been a mistake.

At the International Congress of Archaeology in 1929 at Barcelona a separate development was taking place which resulted in Prof. P. Bosch-Gimpera convening a conference in Berne on 28 May 1931 to consider the future organization of prehistoric studies. It was decided in Berne: (1) to separate prehistoric studies from general anthropology and ethnology; (2) not to re-establish the old pre-war Congrès but to establish a new international Congress of prehistoric studies. The Society of Antiquaries and the RAI decided to invite the new Congress to hold its first meeting in London in July or Aug. 1932;(see Council minutes, 19 May and 9 June 1931, ff. 173-4, 176-7). The demise of the old Congrès also resulted in the establishment of the new Congrès international des Sciences anthropologiques et ethnologiques which held its first meeting in London in 1934 under RAI auspices (see Council minutes, 7 July 1931, ff. 180-1 and A62). For the intricacy of the negotiations leading to this new Congress see Man, Nos. 20, 63, 94, 127, 137, Feb., Apr., May-July 1931, and to the informal report to Council by Miss M.L. Tildesley at 65/14/1. See also Proceedings of the 1st International Congress of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences, London, August 1-6, 1932 and Man, Nos. 241-52, Sep. 1932 for an outline by Sir John Myres, a group photograph of members, and summaries including sectional proceedings.
