Spanish term or phrase: Fondos bibliográficos/documentales
Translation of a spanish archive website.
Context:
-"En 1932 se constituyó la Junta del Patronato del Archivo Histórico Provincial, encargada de gestionar la recogida de los FONDOS del mismo y en 1935 se recibe la primera remesa documental"
-"inauguración oficial y definitiva de la ubicación de todos los FONDOS DOCUMENTALES que conservaba el Archivo"
-"Cuadro de clasificación de FONDOS y colecciones"
-"consulta directa de los FONDOS DOCUMENTALES que custodia este Archivo"
-"se podrá acceder libremente al FONDO BIBLIOGRÁFICO del Archivo"
-"préstamo domiciliario del FONDO BIBLIOGRÁFICO de la Biblioteca Auxiliar"

I'm considering the following translations:
Bibliographic fund(s)/fonds/resources
Documentary fund(s)/fonds/resources

I consider "resources" too general for this context. I've also found "fonds" in this glossary of Archival Terminology (http://www.archivists.org/glossary/term_details.asp?Definiti... but "fund(s)" seems to have a higher frequency of use according to Google.
