Some things, perhaps, but it really depends on what you want to know. Things like technology will, eventually, be recreated under the new influence of magic. One day a crossbow will become repeating, eventually it won't even need the bow, and suddenly you have something a lot like a gun. If you want to know things like people of the past, events from our history, that would be difficult to discover without finding the right demon or someone who's bothered to delve that far into the past. It's on a "Need to know" basis really, but if you want to go on an adventure to find out, that's on you. That said, the coming events may be difficult for students of the college to partake in scholarly pursuits, what with war going on.
