   A memorial is any object, whether a writing, a monument, or other permanent thing that is designed or adapted to keep something in remembrance.

A register is a formal or official written record, especially a series of entries made for preservation or reference; as, a register of births and deaths. Archives, in the sense here considered, are documents or records, often legal records, preserved in a public or official depository; the word archives is also applied to the place where such documents are regularly deposited and preserved.
