"Yes..."
"What type of material would you say gets added to that collection?"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, forget what's going on at Dutch Bend and Catty."
"In that case... material that's of historical significance or else of lasting import."
"Excellent! Thanks. I knew I could count on you for just the right sort of bullshit for these bloody reports."

It's all so subjective though, isn't it. "Historical significance" for many people's lives may be the Rothman's Football Yearbook for 1973.

Gadjo: it's horribly subjective. Luckily, Henry and his old oppo are interested in what human beings get up to and she managed to rescue a lot of stuff that turned out to become useful and important.
