This is correspondence and such that's been sitting around in a warehouse for however many years, untouched.

Nobody has the other sides of the correspondances? How did the receiving parties not preserve their letters from Orwell?

It sounds like this was the receiving party: letters from Orwell to his publisher (and other papers related to publishing his work, like contracts and internal memos). if Orwell had kept copies for his records, I suspect they would already be properly archived, yes.
