⭐ April is Records and Information Management Month! ⭐

April is International Records and Information Management Month (RIMM), and the Indiana Archives & Records Administration's RIM division will be hosting the two webinars listed below, one focused on County/Local records, and one on State agency records.

In addition to our educational offerings, we've designed some very high-tech posters for RIM Month. You may see them popping up here and there around the Government Center complex, and you can also download them right here if you would like your very own!

(If you feel like making them pop up here and there around your own office, you not only have our permission for that, you have our warm, fuzzy feelings of love.)

Above and to the left, an area is labeled "File Room" and the text below the woman reads "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!" above the stylized image of a records retention schedule. Top of the poster reads "Records and Information Management Month | April x 2024.

Featuring speakers from Records and Information Management, Electronic Records, and the State Records Center, this live webinar will discuss the rules, methods, and options for legally and responsibly disposing of state agency records in both physical and electronic formats, including changes to the process of requesting confidential shredding, with plenty of time reserved for answers to your additional questions.
