Biographical / Historical
The Research and Information System Division of the Department of Intergovernmental Relations was created in 1974 when the Information Systems Bureau and the Research Bureau of the Department of Community Affairs were combined. Also at this time, the Department of Planning and Economic Development was abolished and its functions were transferred to this office. In 1975 the Department of Community Affairs formed the Research and Information System Division. In 1982 the Department of Revenue took charge of the research functions. Later, in 1990 the Department of Commerce formed a joint bureau, the Office of Research and Information Service/Census and Economic Information Center to serve as a information center for the Department.
