“Historic record” is the correct term as it describes a record of the events that have taken place in the past. “Historic” and “historical” both mean “pertaining to the past”, but while “historic” has a more limited meaning (“pertaining to important events that happened in the past”), “historical” has a wider scope (“pertaining to any aspect of the past”).
