That theory would mean that everything in there right now, all 12 (or 13) hallways worth of beasties are still known on Earth. In that case, either the previous wardens were very busy adding inmates, or it takes geologic levels of time for these things to be "sufficiently forgotten."

I can't remember, but I thought the Archive hangs onto the memory for a century, or 1000 years to be sure it doesn't pop up again, then "forgets" the entity, and they are then considered consigned to oblivion.

yea, hopefully anyway. I mean what if someones been secreting it down for generations via oblivion war and then suddenly revives it as an idea with nobody realizing how old and dangerous it actually is?

For some reason I think Spring Heeled Jack would be part of the wild hunt or in the court of the goblin king.

Wouldn't the Archive know that that 'book' or whatever still exists? And if it's passed on verbally, she'd know that too.

Perhaps, but it seems she knows what was written, not necessarily if it continues to exist after it's written. Otherwise i'd see little point to keeping a look out for so long, overkill? She's looking for renewed references.
The mechanism needs more explaining, but her holding onto and letting go of an idea on her own implies She get's the actively written/spoken lore and keeps a database of it. But not that the data magically reconforms itself based on if that knowledge still exists, otherwise said mechanism is extraneous. I could hide away a scrap of paper with a name on it for millennia and though she'd know it had been written, she wouldn't be able to say when/if it stopped existing or where, yes? That's how I interpreted it anyway.
