Long-term historical archiving.

  • Someday, WordPress will be gone.. 20, 30, years from now, who knows what we’ll be using.

    To that end, I would like to hear suggestions on solutions for long-term historical archiving of the corporate newspaper that I support. We switched over to WordPress a few years ago, and are now looking at a major template change that might break some older content in a way that’s not easy to fix.

    So I’m looking at solutions for exporting the current content to an archive to get around the current problem, but also for the much longer term where these articles may need to be referenced 20, 30, or 50 years from now.

    Paper? HTML? PDF? and how do we get there in a way that they are still organized and someone can find what they are looking for?

    Thanks for any ideas…

    They have been archiving sites for a while.

    Unfortunately, this is for an internal site, so it wouldn’t be available there. (I should have mentioned that).

    I also need to ensure that it’s available for our corporate archivist, and I don’t think we can depend on an outside group for that.

    Good suggestion though for our external websites.
