Abstract

This chapter summarizes the constitutive decisions by which the IAU was established in the context of the International Research Council, its principal initial features, and the accompanying creation of the Bureau de l’Heure and the Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams. Next, in Chapter 2, we review the early developments during and immediately after World War I which led to these decisions, and in Chapter 3 some related contemporary developments. In Chapter 4, we take up the thread of the subsequent development.
