Broadside issued by Franklin and Hunter

Every business and government bureaucracy creates vast amounts of information about and documentation of both its routine and momentous events. Such extensive record keeping is a boon to historians in their efforts to understand an institution's development. The official documents of the postal service trace its accounting, employment, governance, operational, managerial, procedural, and reporting activities.
