a place that stores a collection of saved information records

Archive (noun) means: a place that stores a collection of saved information records. It emerges from store, collection, information, save: The store.place holds a collection.group of records.document, preserving information.knowledge through save.preservation within a bounded space.extent, forming a persistent archive. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 13, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
