Jedi Archives/Legends

Jedi Archives is a library in the fictional Star Wars universe.

Jedi Archives is a fathomless collection of ancient knowledge and research dating back possibly thousands of years. The Archives Library was located in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, under the control of Madame Jocasta Nu, a former Jedi Council member.

The Archives covered a vast range of criteria, including details on supposedly every planet and species in the Galactic Republic. They also included Diagnostic Laboratories and held the Jedi Holocrons.

Just before the Clone Wars somewhere between 32-22 BBY, information was emptied from the Jedi Archives concerning the planet Kamino, the Kaminoans and their cloning industry, probably by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas before he was killed, to conceal the creation of the Clone Army from the Jedi Council. This was uncovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi when he tried to identify the origin of Senator Amidala's attacker, who used Kaminoan sabre darts. This eventually led to the uncovering of the Separatists plans for war, and the begining of the Clone Wars.

Its most likely that the Jedi Archives were destroyed in the Great Jedi Purge in 19 BBY, along with the rest of the Jedi Temple.
