• The British Administration's official documents serve as an significant historical document for the time. The British representatives felt it was important to write out explicitly all plan, instruction, decision, policy, investigation, & agreement. This was required to "study &address" a subject properly. All official records have been preserved & protected and many archives have been created..
• The British felt it was necessary to "preserve carefully" all the key letters& documents. They therefore built "record rooms" connected to the administrative institutions & for record preservation the setup institutions like museums & archives.
• While these documents contain useful knowledge, we must be cautious when reading them. We must note that from the point of view of the British authorities these documents were written. Some problems could have been ignored or certain aspects changed to match their needs.
• While the official records are highly comprehensive and easily accessible, they do not let us exactly what many citizens in the nation felt under British control, & the reasons that were behind the British's actions. In order to be accurate, unofficial documents are used, and are clearly easier to locate than the official reports.
