The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) is a member of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and exists to serve the world community of crystallographers. It was founded 1948 with the help of Ralph Walter Graystone Wyckoff who served as Vice-president and President from 1951 to 1957.
