Place for official records (8)

I believe the answer is:

registry

(Other definitions for registry that I've seen before include "Place of record" , "Office where records are kept" , "Place where written documents or records are kept" , "Place to keep records" , "Place where recorded list is kept" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
