Why is it masculine?

Archivos is masculine because it derives from Latin "archivum," which was itself borrowed from Greek "archeion" (a government building), and Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" typically became masculine in Spanish. The word retained its masculine gender through this etymological transition, as most Spanish words descended from Latin "-um" neuters did.
