The first few girls had no reason to think that they're not "close" to Warriors' World initially, and wouldn't have a reason to be carrying archives with them. Dee, in particular, thought she was merely hopping over to WW for just a couple days to recruit Doug and his friends for the Hardorn War; she wasn't expecting to find herself on a Grand Tour. By they time they got to Buckaroo Banzai's timeline they will have realized that they're not reaching WW soon, and that's probably when they decided to pool their info. Maybe the goddesses helped them extract and collate the earlier stuff when they reached DW5... might also be where they got their storage medium, whatever it is.I was assuming that Leese, at the least, would have grabbed a copy of the archive that Legion and Minerva dumped onto Sylia's system, and supplemented it with whatever Boomer and Saber tech she could find, plus the tools of her own trade - Who's Who, the equivalent of the CIA World Factbook, and all the other high-level references a photojournalist in MegaTokyo might need at a moment's notice. Whether she'd grab the equivalent references in Sana's world or elsewhere is anyone's guess.
And I can't see anyone other than Skuld designing their storage system. I also can't see Skuld not gathering all the tech data she can, or Sana not gathering all the movies she can, both for later reference.
