I just followed the links of the Wikipedia article you posted and it appears that there is even a more secret archive than the official Secret Archives which themselves are separated from the Vatican Library that you linked to:

Other secret archives

There are other secret archives at the Vatican. An even more secret archive is kept by the Apostolic Penitentiary, which contains papal documents and other material that is not made public, as no one is allowed access due to the privacy of the confessor-penitent disputes for which the Penitentiary is responsible.[6] Nevertheless the Secret Archives are the main collection.
