Lore Keeper A Lore Keeper was a broad term for a Jedi Knight who had pursued the school of thought that gave one the title of Jedi Consular within the Jedi Order . Consisting of archivists , historians , and librarians , the Lore Keepers maintained the repositories of knowledge that allowed the Order to grow and learn , calling on wisdom from the Jedi Masters long since past , and contributing knowledge from the scholars of the future . Overview . One of the oldest ranks in the Jedi Order , the first Lore Keepers served on Tython before the rise of the Galactic Republic . The stewards of knowledge accumulated by Jedi High Council member Rajivari , the Lore Keepers tended to the first incarnation of the Jedi Archives ; the Fount of Rajivari . As the Order grew and moved to Ossus and elsewhere the Lore Keeper position became more defined . Divided into three distinct roles within the Order , the Lore Keepers could be found at the Jedi facilities on Coruscant , Telos IV , Kamparas , and Obroa - skai . Making up the Librarian ' s Assembly at the Jedi Temple of Coruscant , they oversaw the operation of the Jedi Archives and answered directly to the Council of First Knowledge . The leader of the Order ' s Educational Corps was the Chief Librarian , overseer of the Archives and protector of its knowledge . Provided with personal chambers adjacent to the Archives , the Chief Librarian worked closely with the Caretaker of First Knowledge , the leader of the Council of First Knowledge . On occasion , such as in the time following the Ruusan Reformation with Master Restelly Quist , the Chief Librarian also held the title of Caretaker . Quist ' s predecessor , Barra - Rona - Ban was the first Chief Librarian following the Reformation and one of the only Jedi to meet one of the two remaining Sith Lords and survive . Even before Master Ban , the Kel Dor historian Gnost - Dural oversaw the recollection of data within the Temple Archives of Tython following the Sacking of Coruscant . The final Chief Librarian , former Jedi High Council member Jocasta Nu died among her beloved books when Darth Vader executed on behalf of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . Following the reformation of the Order under Grand Master Luke Skywalker , Tionne Solusar took up the mantle of Chief Librarian and restored the Stacks and added information missing from the time of the Galactic Civil War . Master Solusar eventually stepped down from this role and the title was given to Master Markre Medjev . Jedi archivists . The Jedi archivists were tasked with the tedious job of storing all text in the Archives and library . Translating all data in to various common tongues , the archivists would store and sort the information gathered into one of the four halls of the Archives . Specializing in the storage , organization and retrieval of knowledge , they would receive and archive knowledge so that others might learn , and in the process expand their own awareness of the galaxy . Delving into many areas of study , allowing the Force to guide them to their areas of specialty , these Jedi rarely saw combat , and were only sent on data - retrieval missions , or to accompany diplomats in need of a constant stream of information . The Jedi archivists were at their height in times of peace , flourishing in their libraries , and growing the Archives to astounding proportions . However , during the Clone Wars , they became few in number . The older Jedi believed that the younger Jedi at the time did not have the patience to become archivists , instead training to become Jedi Guardian s . One of the few potential archivists of the era was Padawan Olee Starstone ; however , Order 66 interfered in her training and progress . Jedi librarians . Walking the halls of the library and Archives , the Jedi librarians were the main interface with the collection of knowledge stored at the Temple and its satellite facilities . Interacting with visiting Jedi and assisted by small droids , a librarian could help locate any resource at a moments notice . Some librarians also studied as historians , such as Madame Jocasta Nu in the latter days of the Republic . Jedi historians . Jedi historians , or chroniclers , were members of the Librarian ' s Assembly specializing in research not only into the history of the Jedi , but also the early beginnings of the Republic . The historians were responsible for the oversight and analysis of the Holocrons , led by the Caretaker of First Knowledge , the leader of the Council of First Knowledge . Historians of the Old Republic sometimes wore special robes based on Ansata n design , signifying an elevated learning to that of their peers . Over the centuries , Madame Nu , her ancient predecessor Atris , and the reformed Order ' s first historian , Tionne Solusar were known to dress in these patterns .
