what do you call your archival storage?



A writer friend of mine asked:

"Is there a pet name for the file storage room, some jokey monicker that's
 not to obscure for the outside world to comprehend? Y'know, like "morgue"
in
 the newspapers?"

Unfortunately, I just use 'the stacks'  which isn't very interesting.
Anyone else have something good for him?

Thanks,

Mike
