Question

How did the British preserve important documents and letters?

Answer 1

$\large{\boxed{\red{\textbf{ Thanks\:For\:Ansking}}}}$

British had preserved official documents, because they thought if they write and record everything, it will later be easier for them to study them and debate. They kept official records of what they thought was right, so that in the future, those records can serve as proofs of all the decisions that they had taken.

Answer 2

Answer:

The British felt the need to preserve all the important official documents and letters. For this, they set up record rooms attached to all administrative institutions. The village tahsildar’s office, the collectorate, the commissioner’s office, the provincial secretariats, the lawcourts – all had their record rooms. The British also established specialised institutions such as archives and museums to preserve important records.
