Acuin's Wykepedia contains information in knowledge in forms more esoteric then books and times. The Pensieve collect and store memories. These memories are obtained via a combination of spells and devices. Most have been obtained voluntarily through an interview with a famous or important person. Others, regrettably, were obtained by more surreptitious means and without the target's consent.
Each memory is contained and stored in a specially constructed crystal sphere. These spheres are stored in the Wykepedia in an area known as Our Lady of the Underground on custom shelves and cabinets. The contents of a sphere can be viewed, both visibly and audibly with the use of a unique device known as a Pensieve, where this department gets it's name.
