The IRMS Bulletin is the magazine of the IRMS. Released online every two months, it contains thought-provoking articles, commentary, industry news and analysis, case studies and research from the UK and international records management scene. The Bulletin covers a wide range of topics, including enterprise content management, digital preservation, privacy and data protection, records management legislation, relevant technology issues, and much more.

Most editions of the Bulletin have a featured topic with the cover story and a collection of articles focused on one of the big contemporary issues in information and records management. Each edition also includes a range of articles on other subjects, bringing you the latest thinking from across the information profession.
