archive source (could also be file source depending on context)

Without further context, it seems that the first time the source of a file or document is cited or reported, the report should contain certain details. I take "source" to mean the name and place the particular file or document is housed.

I'm not entirely happy with my definition. Perhaps archive reference is better. The first time reference is made to an archive record or document, the name of the institution, etc., must be given.
