'die Quelle' and 'die Schatzkammer' can both refer figuratively to a place where you find something valuable, such as knowledge or information. 'Quelle' sounds neutral and is used when saying where a piece of information or an idea comes from. 'Schatzkammer' sounds more vivid and emphasizes that many especially valuable things are collected there. They can be confused when talking about knowledge or culture. If you mean the origin of a piece of information, 'Quelle' is more precise. If you want to emphasize abundance and value, 'Schatzkammer' fits better.
Die alte Bibliothek ist eine Schatzkammer für alle, die sich für Stadtgeschichte interessieren.
The old library is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the city's history.
