file room
Where records live
A file room is a dedicated space for storing documents and records, typically in filing cabinets or on shelves.
Organizations use file rooms to organize paperwork that needs to be accessible but not immediately at hand: The contract is somewhere in the file room.
The term evokes pre-digital office work, though physical file rooms persist in legal, medical, and government settings where paper records remain necessary.
