Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones, calling Dr. Jones . . .
That bit's okay with me - WW2 had happened in the meantime, it's entirely plausible the US moved all its important stuff from Washington DC (which would have been a target for bombing raids had the war ever reached the eastern US seaboard) to somewhere in the middle of the Nevada desert.
The UK did exactly the same with its (paper) records of births, marriages and deaths, which were moved lock stock and barrel from Somerset House (on the Thames) to a depot in Southport in Lancashire.
Somerset House never got a scratch in the blitz, whereas one of the few buildings destroyed in Southport was ... you can guess the rest.
Point of fact. I'm about 99% sure that at the end of Raiders, that warehouse is labeled "Somewhere in Washington, DC." So this is a different warehouse, but the ark is there now.
