At embark your dwarves have little knowledge of history, unless you skill a dwarf in it. History would allow an incomplete version of the legends to be access in fort mode, which would be added too over time, based on the skill of the scholar. Visiting scholars would add to the canon, and scholars could be sent to other locations with the intention "gather knowledge", or raiding parties could demand certain information revealed, similarly a besieging enemy could demand a secret. Additional selections in the world map would add pertinent information. The locations of artifacts, lairs, and the location of civilization leaders could be discovered. Unlocking secrets could allow books and art to be made, perhaps giving a happy thought to a relevant faction member/religious sect/civilization member.

We could see the wealthier settlements, realms and other organizations such as families, trade groups, guilds and temples hacing chroniclers recording events which occured to them, along with biographers for famous persons and items.

We could even simulate Dark Ages: just imagine the archives of a civilizations having been mostly destroyed through warfare, fire or floods, or biaised recordings.

The problem with legends access isn't so much the information it can give you as technical stuff. The only reasonable way to do it as of right now would require a save right before entering legends and then it would boot you to the title screen as soon as you're done browsing.
