WHY DO BRITISHERS MAINTAIN THE RECORDS???
Answers
Answer:
The British felt that all the important letters and documents must be carefully preserved. So they set up record rooms attached to administrative institutions, and institutions such as archives and museums were also established for preserving records.
Answer:Records contain information that is needed for the day to day work of government. Their purpose is to provide reliable evidence of, and information about, 'who, what, when, and why' something happened.
In some cases, the requirement to keep certain records is clearly defined by law, regulation or professional practice. More often, recordkeeping is a matter of policy and good business practice, developed over time and "built into" work processes, to ensure that the organisation can:
refer to records of past transactions in order to perform subsequent actions;
produce evidence of financial or contractual obligations, to avoid dispute or protect against legal liability;
draw on evidence of past events to make informed decisions for the present and future; and
account for its actions and decisions when required to do so.
The records of government also help to protect individual rights and entitlements, safeguard the public interest, and contribute to the historical record of Manitobans' personal and collective experience.
