Is this for a new building or and existing structure?

try this link for the National Archives of Australia they have storage
standard tables that promising
http://www.naa.gov.au/recordkeeping/storage/summary.html
I found this by doing a search on Google using "archives floor loading" as
the search terms (not an exact match)
Also be sure to ask the architect if he is using static or live-load. But in
any case 50 lbs per square foot is totally inadequate for records storage.
