Secretary

The word secretary comes from the Latin secretum, meaning something set apart or private. Before it described a job title, it described a relationship: someone trusted with what others could not see.

That has not really changed. What has changed is the range. A secretary today might run an office, govern a company's legal filings, support a single executive, or keep a school running smoothly. The setting changes. The shape of the work stays the same, which is keeping correspondence, records and time in order for someone else.

This library covers the role from every angle. Start with what a secretary is, then follow whichever thread matters to you: the types, the history, or the skills that set good secretaries apart.
