Definitions and Objects 
The International Society of Photogrammetry (hereinafter referred to as the Society) 
is a non-governmental international organization, devoted to the development of international 
cooperation for the advancement of Photogrammetry and its applications. 
The Society pursues its aims without any discrimination on grounds of race, religion, natio- 
nality, or political philosophy. It subscribes in particular to the declaration adopted in 1958 by 
the 8th General Assembly of the International Council of Scientific Unions concerning political 
non-discrimination. 
To achieve these aims, the Society shall: 
a hold international Congresses at regular intervals, with lectures, communications, discus- 
sions, exhibitions and visits; 
b initiate and coordinate research in the field of Photogrammetry, and develop its application 
by creating Commissions and international Working Groups concerned more particularly 
with one of the aspects of Photogrammetry; 
c ensure the wide international circulation of the records of discussions and the results of 
research by the publication of the International Archives of Photogrammetry, which shall 
form the record of Congresses and other meetings that the Society or its subordinate bodies 
(Technical Commissions, Working Groups, etc.) organize in accordance with the Society's 
policy defined by the General Assembly; 
d publish and circulate an international Review which shall be the official organ of the Society 
or request specialized Reviews to publish its communications; 
e stimulate the formation of a National Society of Photogrammetry in each country and pro- 
mote exchanges between such Societies; 
f encourage the publication and exchange of scientific papers and journals dealing with 
Photogrammetry. 
The Society may do all other things incidental or conducive to the Society's aims, provided 
such acts do not contravene the Statutes or the Bye-laws of the Society, or the laws of the 
country in which they are done, or the general principles to which the Society subscribes. 
A country in which activity in Photogrammetry exists may apply to join the Society. A 
country joining the Society shall do so through a single Member Organization. This 
Member Organization shall be the Member of the Society and shall be responsible to the 
Society for the proper discharge of all the duties of membership including specifically those 
of: 
— respresenting the whole community of Photogrammetrists of the country, 
— paying the dues of membership, 
— participating in the scientific work of the Society. 
The Member Organization of a country shall be its National Society for Photogrammetry, or 
in the absence of a National Society for Photogrammetry 
— an Association of societies each having the advancement of Photogrammetry as one of its 
principal objects,
