The government warehouses of fiction and conspiracy theories (WP) have a number of analogues in the real world, although some are not run by official national governments. Historically, the template is the Great Library of Alexandria, which held an extensive collection of written works but was repeatedly destroyed during the first millennium AD. The Vatican Secret Archives are alleged to hold many secrets, such as unpublished records of the Knights Templar.[1] Many prominent museums have extensive archives which often lay undisturbed for decades, such as the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, which was found in 2002 to have 80,000 items—more than half the museum's collection—stored away in its vaults.[2]
In the United States, the National Archives and Records Administration and the Wikipedia:Library of Congress both have numerous government warehouses to store historic items and documents. Area 51, northwest of Las Vegas, was the home to a number of black projects (WP); secret military programs.
The Government Warehouse is a plot device used in movies, television series, and Wikipedia:novels, a scenario used in Wikipedia:role-playing games, and a belief of some conspiracy theorists. The concept is that there is a secret government warehouse where various items are stored of whose existence the (WP) wants the general populace to remain ignorant.
