What did the British do to preserve important official documents and letters?
The British also felt that all important documents and letters needed to be carefully preserved.
So 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. Specialised institutions like archives and museums were also established to preserve important records.
