Jedi archivist

Jedi archivists were Jedi who delved into many areas of study, allowing the Force to guide them to their areas of specialty. They would receive and archive knowledge so that others might learn, and in the process expand their own awareness of the galaxy. They would often remain close to the temple archives on Coruscant or Ossus, or join the ExplorCorps and travel the galaxy to expand their knowledge.

The Jedi archivists were at their height in times of peace, however, during the events of 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 an archivist, and so many went into roles that were more important at the time.
