Illinois. Office of Secretary of State. Shipping Division.

Hide Profile

In 1819 the General Assembly passed an act requiring the Secretary of State to keep an account of postage used for official purposes (L. 1819, p. 254). Later a separate appropriation for a shipping clerk was provided by statute (L. 1895, p. 49). The Shipping Division receives and processes outgoing mail, incoming and outgoing express, parcel post mail and freight; provides storage space for publications and printed forms of the Secretary's office and distributes them as directed; maintains inventory records of items received and quantities dispersed from stock; and acts as a limited receiver of printed materials for other agencies and makes deliveries to designated departments.
