My impression was that the whole reason the question was asked was
because the institution was no longer interested in maintaining the
pages and was looking for a way for them to still be available without
having to continue worry about those pages themselves. Otherwise, why
can't you just keep them indefinitely, perhaps by shuffling them to a
different server with a clear notice that it is out-of-date. That's
what I have seen other places do.

In any case, I am looking forward to somebody else to contribute a
more viable solution.

Regards,
