Special statutes regarding the great seal and other official seals have required filing of descriptions with the Secretary of State. Chap. 12 of the Laws of 1778 required descriptions of the great and privy seals and the seals of the chancellor and the various judges to be delivered to the Secretary of State for him to "deposit and record in his office." Chap. 249 of the Laws of 1855 empowered boards of supervisors in the various counties of the state to adopt a seal, and required them to file a description of it with the Secretary of State. Chaps. 18 and 301 of the Laws of 1878 required the various state agencies in existence at that time to adopt seals and to file descriptions with the Secretary of State. Chap. 51 of the Laws of 1909 contains provisions for seals of state agencies, but makes no provision for filing of descriptions with the Secretary of State.

In 1993 following the Pentagon's closing of the Griffiss Air Force Base (Rome, New York ), Governor Mario Cuomo announced the formation of a task force to explore the economic development possibilities of the base and named Secretary of State Gail Schaefer as one of his representatives to the Griffiss Redevelopment Planning Council. The Planning Council, in cooperation with the Griffiss Local Development Council, sought to effect the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy to maintain and expand the uses and viability of the former base through links with federal, state, and local governments, business, and academia.

The Council of Revision was set up by Article III of the Constitution of 1777 and consisted of the Governor, Chancellor, and Justices of the Supreme Court of Judicature.

Legislation of 1849 and 1892 authorized county boards of supervisors (except for New York County) to divide or alter boundaries of towns within their counties.

The board was to consider the alteration upon application of at least 12 freeholders and upon being furnished with a map and survey showing proposed alterations for all towns involved. If the board granted the application, the map and survey and a certified statement of the board's actions regarding the alterations were to be filed with the Secretary of State, who was to print them with the next printing of the laws.

Legislation of 1892 further authorized county boards of supervisors to establish and define boundary lines between towns. The board was to file a resolution containing a description of the boundaries, along with a map and survey, with the Secretary of State, who was to print them with the next printing of the laws.

The Revised Statutes of 1889 authorized the State Engineer and Surveyor to hear arguments of town officers disputing town boundaries and to direct a survey if necessary to determine the true boundaries. The State Engineer and Surveyor was to file the determination with the Secretary of State. This determination was to be final unless changed by an act of the legislature.
