Ophuchi historians were members of the Ophuchi Clan who specialized in studying and recording the history of the galaxy from the beginning of recorded time, particularly new information learned by Ophuchi archaeologists. The two specializations would often overlap with one another. Historians also acted as librarians by administrating the collections of scrolls and knowledge within the Ophuchi sanctuary. Sarus, the leader of the Ophuchi in 22 BBY, was a historian and archaeologist.
