Summary:
Executive Chamber staff maintained these records as a central file of photocopies of gubernatorial proclamations. The original proclamations were filed with the Secretary of State in accordance with legislation of 1892 and 1951 requiring all documents issued under the great seal of New York State to be filed with the secretary. Usually ceremonial in nature, the proclamations recognize important events, issues, or personal achievements by proclaiming a day, week, or month in the subject's honor.
