St 1857, c 40 mandated a public series of documents to be numbered separately from the Senate and House series. These were to consist of the annual reports of public offices, boards or institutions required by law for submission to the General Court or governor and council. the state secretary was made responsible for their publication and distribution (later, their republication and distribution). From at least 1892 this responsbility was carried out by the Document Division, know from ca. l921 as the Public Document Division. In the late l970s that unit was succeeded by the State Bookstore. Annual reports of state agencies include both published and unpublished documents: how many of the latter have existed in published form is unclear.
