Swedish term or phrase: faktarum

From a survey of Swedish museums. Full phrase is:

Antal faktarum, arkiv och bibliotek på museerna

so clearly 'archive' or 'library' won't work here.

information rooms

Explanation:
Fakta = facts
Rum = room

I don't think there is an exact translation of this, but something like Info-room, Information room, Trivia room, Fact-room might work.

"Faktarummet

Välkommen till Faktarummet!

"FAKTARUMMET
I museets forskarsal Faktarummet kan du få reda på mycket om Stockholm och stadens historia, byggnader och befolkning. Du kan söka i vår stora samling stockholmsbilder, både fotografier och konst, pressklipp och kartor. I vårt referensbiblioteket hittar du den viktigaste stockholmslitteraturen.

I Faktarummet är det mesta av materialet digitalt och sökbart i datorer. Detta gör det lätt och snabbt att hitta bilder och annat arkivmaterial. Alla besökare får hjälp att söka i materialet. "

In the English version, 'faktarummet' is referred to as 'the documentary room'.
