Executive Chamber staff maintained these records as a central file of governor's press releases concerning all aspects of state government. Most are standard press releases publicizing appointments, new legislation, issues of concern to the governor, the governor's activities, or ceremonial occasions. Occasionally a press release will include, or consist entirely of, the text of a piece of legislation, a statement by the governor, an Executive Order or proclamation, or a government report.
