As record keeper for the Commonwealth, the state secretary has responsibility for administration of elections, maintenance of public records, filing and distribution of regulations and public documents, corporate registration, lobbying agent registration, recording of appointments and commissions, storage of historical data, preservation of historic sites, administration and enforcement of the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act, information and referral on all aspects of state government, and until 1990, administration of the state decennial census. The secretary also communicates concerns arising from these functions to the citizenry as appropriate. This series of public service annoucements for radio and television broadcast as hosted by the secretary covers election-related topics such as voter registration and absentee ballots, also participation in the federal decennial census, and alertness to the possibilities of securities fraud. Communications are in a variety of audio and audiovisual formats, including sound discs, video discs, vidoetapes, and videocassettes. Most items exist in multiple copies and in a few cases in multiple formats. Items in series emanate from the administration of Secretary William Francis Galvin.
