individuals. The Committee was represented by a President and a Secretary and had the name International Committee on the Science of Photography. It met on the occasions of International Congresses on Photographic Science (ICPS). Decisions have also been made by correspondence.

In 2000, the committee and the congress were renamed as the International Committee for Imaging Science (ICIS) and the International Congress of Imaging Science (ICIS), in order to meet the situation that photographic science was becoming part of a rapidly expanding group of new fields related to imaging science and it was desirable to promote interactions among these various disciplines.

Two types of conferences come under the purview of the Committee:

-- Large congresses which carry on the tradition of the ICIS (formerly ICPS) congresses and which are to provide an overview of the prevailing trends of imaging science

-- Symposia devoted to specialized subjects. Their main purpose is to advance these special fields through close discussion.

On the basis of the experience gained by the work of the Committee, the Officers were asked at the meeting on September 5, 1974 to draft statutes by which the future activities of the Committee would be governed. In 2002, the statutes were revised to conform to the renaming of the committee and the congress.
