records

Files or vinyl

Records are accounts preserved for reference—written documents, audio recordings, or data entries that capture information: medical records, criminal records, keep a record of expenses.

A record is also the best documented performance: She set a new world record.

To record is to capture or register information.

A record (or vinyl) is a grooved disc that stores sound, played on a turntable.

For the record means officially or for clarity: For the record, I never agreed to this.
