Several monographs and collections of papers were published in Meteoritics during 1967 to 1969 (Chirvinskij, 1967; Vdovykin, 1967; Wood, 1968; Cikulin, 1969; Anders et al, 1967; Stanjukovič, 1968). Extensive work on meteorites is continuing in the Meteorite Committee of the Academy of Sciences of U.S.S.R. Fesenkov and Krinov continued publishing the journal Meteoritika, where most of the papers of scientists of the U.S.S.R. are published. Hoffleit continued publishing Meteoritics of the Meteorite Society. Javnel’ continued editing a bibliography on meteorites. A bibliography on the isotopic and chemical composition of meteorites was published by Kielbasinski and Wanat. The UNESCO working group on meteorites under the chairmanship of Orcel edited the Directory of Meteorite Collections and Meteorite Research in 1968.

The Meteorite Committee of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. organized its 13th meteorite conference in 1968. The Meteorite Society had its 30th to 32nd annual meetings during 1967 to 1969. The International Atomic Agency in cooperation with UNESCO and five other international scientific unions and organizations including the IAU represented by Millman, prepared a Symposium on Meteorite Research in Vienna, Austria, 7-13 August, 1968, initiated by the UNESCO Working Group on Meteorites. More than 70 papers were presented at this Symposium, showing the interests of various sciences in meteorites. The Symposium volume appeared very soon after the sessions were closed in the series Astrophysics and Space Science Library, published by D. Reidel Publishing Company, Dordrecht, Holland, under the title Meteorite Research edited by P. M. Millman (1969, 940 pages).
