A Public Information Division was formed in 1944 to keep Illinois citizens informed of the proper procedures for filing legal documents with the Secretary of State and of services available to them through the office. From 1951 to 1957 the division also was known as the Public Relations Department. In 1970 Public Information became part of the Communications Department, which provides general information on many aspects of the Secretary of State's Office.
