Had moved those records somewhere

Hi

The Agency, apparently loath to part with any documented part of its past, no matter how politically incorrect it might seem in hindsight, had moved those records somewhere.

I can't figure out what this last part is referring to? Maybe it should be placed somewhere else in the sentence?

It's ok as it's written but you might prefer the following rewrite. The Agency had moved those records somewhere because they (the Agency) apparently loath to part with any documented part of its past, no matter how politically incorrect it might seem in hindsight.
