Record

Deliberately not a kind of storage. A store is specified to hold goods; an archive is specified to hold conditions - it has a tighter environmental brief than most occupied rooms in the same building, and filing it under storage would lose exactly that. No AAT mapping: Getty's archives entries are all institutions, buildings or groupings of records, and none of them is the room.
