The Vegard Archives
We record... stuff about the world.If you're reading this, you've obtained permission from the SVCA to access the Archives and its resources, an incredible feat that is worthy of congratulations. If you haven't, and you're still reading this, I'm sorry to inform you that you will be suffering from immediate and critical internal pressure from within the cranium thanks to the wards set on the documents. We request you to kindly not spill your brain matter all over the floor. The Archives are enough of a mess as it is. What are the Vegard Archives? We record... stuff about the world*. The Archives was founded by, what was his name again, Bahar Cevder, some Asuran philosopher/scientist/historian who believed that omniscient entities from alternate dimensions were going to manifest on Ereya and enlighten all of us.

Structure
Sitting right on top is the Archival Director, a position that can be shared between several members of the Archives. They're supposed to lead the Archive, make sure everyone's working together–the "face" of the Archives that the rest of the Institute talks to if they want to see something.
There's the Acquisition Officer. They acquire things. Actually, it says here they have a managerial role: sorting out the pending lists, deciding which articles have higher priority and managing the creation of each article.
Then, there's the Archivist a.k.a. everyone else. They run around doing the bidding of the higher-ups and the actual writing of articles. Anyone can be forced to–sorry–volunteer to go out on the field to collect data should the Institute's records be insufficient. Usually, it's left to the rookies (After all, if you can survive that, you might survive the Institute. It's an unofficial entry exam). Every year or so, the Institute organises expeditions for its various experiments and departments, and the Archives usually sends representatives to record. There have yet been expeditions solely for the Archives, which shows how much they care.
Notes from the Archives:
How are you not fired yet? I have no idea what you mean. You called the founder of the Archives you are employed at a "nutter." Just my honest opinions. We're trying to support the truth, aren't we? The number of times you've antagonised Yura but he doesn't do anything except shout for a bit, which is really uncharacteristic of him. Don't tell me you–and him? Well, there was that one time we got drunk, but there were two other guys around so it didn't go anywhere except the worse hangover I've ever had. Maybe I'm just really good at my job. Sure, Jani.Hail, Posterity

I'm pretty sure the upstairs folk call us "moles," and frankly, moles are lovely, so thank you.
