From seventeen, I'm going out for new records (6)
I believe the answer is:
annals
'records' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annals that I've seen before include "Chronological records, yearbooks" , "History of events year by year" , "Tomorrow (Spanish)" , "Registers" , "Yearly records" .)
