History

The Public Record began publication in September 1999 as a semi-monthly, and changed to a weekly in April, 2000.

The publisher of the Public Record was James Tayoun, Sr. who was a former City Councilman in Philadelphia and State Representative in Harrisburg who resigned from office after pleading guilty to racketeering, mail-fraud, tax- evasion and obstruction-of-justice.[2]

In 2010, the Public Record announced a new sister publication, "The South Philadelphia Public Record."
