What is a Public Record?
Public Record
Public Records are those records that a governmental unit keep, or are required to keep, in line with the duties they are required to perform. Public records are documents or pieces of information that are not considered confidential. They are usually maintained by public or governmental officials (including religious). Items in the public record may be used in legal court cases. A public record is basically just information that is recorded and stored by a government which a member of the public has a right to access and review. Records can be in tangible forms, such as paper, photographs, maps, or stored on electronic media- such as CDs, DVDs, and computer databases.
The Lunar Visitor is a periodical and “news outlet of public record” authorized by an ecclesiastical (religious) government (The Zionst Temple of 1875 for Orphans and Widows, thezionchurch.org) to publish public and legal notices.
