databank
Digital record storage
A databank is a large, organized collection of data, typically stored in a computer system for easy retrieval.
The term emerged alongside early computing and often appears in contexts involving research, government records, or institutional information: The agency maintains a databank of genetic profiles.
Databank and database overlap considerably, though databank sometimes implies a broader or less structured repository.
