Care to explain how storing knowledge of them erases knowledge of them? That seems... Off.

Basically, she coordinates the effort to remove books and other sources of information about the Old Gods. Then, when she hasn't heard a certain name come up in any source for 3 or 4 centuries she assumes that everyone else has forgotten about it and 'deletes' it from the archive.
It's a long game.

Do we have a source on this? Because that is decidedly anti-neutral. And given the regular crazy associated with past Archives it seems like that would be ineffective.

Jim. The Archive isn't neutral with the Old Gods, just in other things. When it comes to killing people who are connected to the Old Ones Ivy is without mercy. The only crazy i know of is her mother, and that's because she took on the mantle at such a young age. Her mother was murdered, and she got it too early.

You say her mother was murdered? Do you have a source for that? As I recall, Ivy's mother was young(upper teens maybe twenty something?) and in love, when her mother was killed in a car crash, Ivy's mom flipped out over becoming the Archive and no longer having "her" life, that as soon as Ivy was born, she committed suicide.
From SmF
(click to show/hide)“Ivy doesn’t,” Luccio agreed.
“Her grandmother was killed in a freak accident, an automobile crash, I believe. Her mother was a seventeen-year-old girl who was in love, and pregnant. She hated her mother for dying and cursing her to carry the Archive when she wanted to have her own life—and she hated the child for having a lifetime of freedom ahead of her. Ivy’s mother killed herself rather than carry the Archive.”
I started feeling a little sick. “And Ivy knows it.”
“She does. Knows it, feels it. She was born knowing exactly what her mother thought and felt about her.”
“How could you know this about her…” I frowned, thinking. Then said, “Kincaid. The girl was in love with Kincaid.”
“No,” Luccio said. “But Kincaid was working for Ivy’s grandmother at the time, and the girl confided in him.”
Ahh, I just realized that you weren't talking about Ivy,but her mom... ok
