Yes, exactly, Lowry suggests that wisdom is knowing a lot by remembering the past and then using that knowledge to make sure people don' t make the same mistake again.   Lowry is on the side of the philospher Santayana, who said "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The Receiver of Memory exists to make sure that the members of the community know the past and, therefore, do not repeat it.
