    Why did the British preserve official documents    

    Answer:

    (i) The British preserved the important official documents because these served as records of what the officials thought, what they were interested in and what they wished for.
    (ii) According to the British, writing was more important than speaking, as the documents in archives and museums can be utilized for reference at a much later period whenever required for the purpose of studying or debating.
    (iii) These can also serve as an information or proof of any decision or action taken earlier on some matter.
