Perspectives
💬 The case for
Government groups would likely say a shorter name is clearer for the public. It matches the division's main duties more closely.
💬 The case against
Some records advocates would likely say dropping "Public Records" from the name may hide that part of the job. They may want that duty kept clearly in the title.
