At least from what I have read so far the answers seem to be “nothing” and “very little.”
Please note that any responses to this will likely involve SPOILERS for “The Amber Spyglass”, the final book of the “His Dark Materials” trilogy. Please reply to my later comment with the content warning added.

I am reading “The Secret Commonwealth” by Phillip Pullman, the sequel to his “His Dark Materials” trilogy. Aka vol 2 of “The Book Of Dust.”
A question I am wondering about, & asking about here:
How much is publicly known about the events in the earlier trilogy? How much is privately known by the various secret societies, etc.? Mostly thinking of on Lyra's homeworld. Would any others be different?

“Of course. I understand.”
Pan had come up onto her lap. She moved her fingers through his fur. “So this means… I have to leave?” she said.’

“Over the meal, which was served by one of the Master’s private staff whom Lyra hadn’t seen before , she tried to ask the Master about his previous career, his background, and so on. She was really only making conversation for the sake of politeness; she’d already decided that the man was clever and courteous, but dull.”

“The new Master was Dr. Werner Hammond: not a Jordan man, or even an Oxford man, but a businessman from the world of pharmaceuticals who had had a distinguished career as a scholar of chemistry before becoming chairman of one of the great medical corporations and enlarging its powers and revenues considerably.”
