Spanish term or phrase: Sala de Guarda
This is an area in an archive in Argentina:

Nuestro edificio está equipado con Salas de Guarda que preservan más de 500.000 documentos que constituyen los fondos documentales, las colecciones especiales, la biblioteca y la hemeroteca.

It is more specific than an archive... Cellar doesn't seem right? Storage area? Deposit?
Thanks

Repository
