Before the creation of Resource Coordinators there were interdivisional groups which helped to streamline the creation of resources across divisions. The Resource Planning Group was used to increase communications across the Divisions and Units that were producing resources, because these tended to function as silos. Sometimes resources were duplicated across Units or other times it was known one Unit was producing something, but other Units could not provide valuable input. The aim was to increase communication, avoid duplication, and produce better resources. The Resource Planning Group was interdivisional of GC staff that produced resources and some Conference staff whose role was to provide feedback and input on resources. Similarly the Print Resources Steering Group held the same function but was specific to print material.

Subseries contains minutes, correspondence and planning documents of the Resource Planning Group and the Print Resources Steering Group 1900-1996.
