Re: what do you call your archival storage?



We're in a farmhouse and steel building with a trailer in it, so we have
"kitchen" and "dining room." The dining room is also called the "film room"
because motion pictures and videos live there. The two bedrooms in my domain
are the "office" (with much of our printed matter) and the "photo room
(again, referring to the dominant contents of the room). The "trailer" and
"offsite storage" are self-explanatory.
