The Society regularly produces a Journal, which contains articles, many of them illustrated, on these subjects. As many members have wider interests, features on foreign awards are also included from time to time.

Society meetings are held quarterly in Dublin, the dates and venues for which are announced in advance in the society journal and on the society website.
