why did the British build record rooms in their administrative offices?

one of the most authentic sources of information for this period are the official records of British administration. The British administrators methodically recorded every plan, policy. treaty and agreement they made. The British preserved all the important documents. for this purpose they build record rooms in their administration offices so that it could be easy to examine and know about the place and to know what to do next.
