Records Management Society:
The Records Management Society was founded in 1983 as the main professional body for records managers in Great Britain and Ireland. Its objectives are ‘to further knowledge of the management and administration of records, in whatever media, created during the course of the business activities of any organisation, and to promote fellowship and co-operation amongst individuals working in this field.’
All those in any country concerned with records and information, regardless of their professional or organisational status or qualifications, can join the Society, which currently has over 1100 members from 30 countries. There are special interest groups for local government and higher and further education, as well as regional groups in Ireland, Scotland and Wales and the North, Midlands, South and South West of England.
The society organises meetings and an annual conference, publishes the bi-monthly Records Management Bulletin containing comment, analysis, case studies and news from the UK and international records management scene, produces information guides on issues such as records retention and information technology, and runs training courses for members and non-members.
