Co-ordinated Records Management System (CRMS) Collection

Date range: 1979/1985 – 2007

Extent and media: 900,000 digital images; 20 linear shelf metres of 3,100 microfilms (master film and duplicate films)

From the late 1970s until November 2007, microfilms were created by the Archives and Records Management Section within the framework of correspondence registration procedures established under the Co-ordinated Records Management System (CRMS).

Microfilms and their digital versions contain all incoming, outgoing and internal registered correspondence and indexing by the CRMS from 1979 to 2007, and cover subject areas of all IAEA official functions and activities based on the file coding system used under the CRMS, excluding correspondence with classified contents (subjects related to safeguards, nuclear verification, nuclear safety and security).

Correspondence can be searched by date, date range, file code, file code title and type of correspondence (incoming, outgoing, internal) using an internal database. It is not available online but can be viewed at the IAEA Archives.
