depository
Place for safekeeping
A depository is a place where things are stored for safekeeping.
Banks serve as depositories for money; libraries and archives are depositories for documents and records.
The word emphasizes the storage function rather than the building itself: The National Archives serves as the official depository for federal records.
Often interchangeable with repository.
