A compendium is a collection of detailed information about a particular show, book, or other fandom.
Compendiums are one part of fan-created resources which include print and online dictionaries, episode guides, wikis, credit zines, encyclopedias, and other non-fiction materials.
A similar fanwork is a "concordance." The two are not the same thing. A concordance "is an alphabetical list of the principal words used in a book or body of work, listing every instance of each word with its immediate context." [1]
Compendiums (aka concordances) can be online or print fanworks.
See Canon Resource for some examples.
