Not all Occultists study psychic energies or rely on faith, some study the powers of the divine and learn to channel these powers without requiring faith. These scholars are often maligned as heretics or blasphemers stealing the power of the divine, while in truth they do not steal power, and often hold a healthy respect for the power of the gods, even if they often feel no need to offer worship themselves and are unafraid of the knowledge of how many divine beings either ascended from mortality or have died throughout the ages.
Sacred Implements: All implement selections must be from the sacred implements list. All sacred implements count as a holy symbol when wielded by an archivist.
This ability modifies implements.
Orisons: An archivist gains one orison, or 0-level divine spell, each time he selects an implement school (including when he again selects a school that he has already learned to use.) These orisons otherwise behave as an occultist’s knacks.
This ability replaces knacks.
Spellcasting: You prepare and cast spells as a wizard, except that the spells you cast are divine and your spellbook is called a prayer book. You start at level one with two 1st-level spells of schools appropriate to your implements from the base cleric list, plus one additional 1st level spell of appropriate school per point of Intelligence bonus. Each level, you gain spells for your prayer book of appropriate level and from schools appropriate to your implements from the cleric list. In addition, you may scribe any scrolls you find of divine spells (regardless of which class they come from) into your prayer book in the same way that a wizard can scribe spell scrolls into his spellbook; if, using this method, you learn a spell of 6th level or lower that is not of a school for which you have acquired an appropriate implement, you can still prepare and cast it using the same rules as a wizard using a spell from a prohibited school of magic, but you cannot prepare or cast any spells of 7th level or higher of schools for which you have not acquired an appropriate implement.
This ability replaces the occultist's psychic spells.

So what do you think? I just felt that the Occultist seemed like a shoe-in for an Archivist adaptation and was kind of surprised that there wasn't one already.
EDIT: Upgraded spellcasting to full casting, limiting upper levels to colleges with an implement.
