Lore refers to fictional stories, mostly concerning myths, fantasy, etc.
Volume usually refers to one text document (usually a book, before the widespread usage of computers) in a series of documents which often (but not always) relate to each other.
The "volume[s] of... lore" probably refers to the contents of the narrator's home library, given that the narrator is in his studio apartment throughout the poem.
The narrator describes his books as quaint, curious, and forgotten, which suggests that they were just old books that nobody really cared about.
In the next stanza, the narrator explains that "Eagerly [he] wished the morrow. Vainly, [he] had sought to borrow from his books surcease of sorrow--sorrow for the lost Lenore..." i.e., He was up late one right, reading old books to try to distract himself from thinking about Lenore, who was his (dead) significant other.
...But skimming through the old books apparently didn't help.

Edgar Allen Poe. It's from The Raven, the first verse of which reads: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door, Only this, and nothing more."
'The Raven' was written by Edgar Allan Poe, an American writer known for his macabre and Gothic style of poetry and fiction. The poem was first published in 1845 and has since become one of Poe's most famous works.
The narrator in "The Raven" is searching for a distraction from his unbearable grief over the loss of Lenore. By immersing himself in the forgotten lore, he tries to find solace and temporary relief from his sorrow.
Lore, Lore, Lore, Lore, schön sind die Mädchen von siebzehn, achtzehn Jahr. Lore, Lore, Lore, Lore, schöne Mädchen gibt es überall; und kommt der Frühling in das Tal, grüß mir die Lore noch einmal, adé, adé, adé, und kommt der Frühling in das Tal, grüß mir die Lore noch einmal, adé, adé, adé.
First verse: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - Only this, and nothing more.' Last Verse: And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore! Ummn is that supposed to be the first verse? ^^
