How would you go about doing this? I've never made a fully backed up archive like you're alluding to, I assumed it'd be extremely storage-intensive to have an offline version made of every single content piece.

Some of it might be as easy as linking to archive.org, though not all of the sites might be on there. There has got to be an program you could run that would create your own archive of the websites. I'll look into it and see if I find anything.

Interesting. If you could I'd really appreciate it! Will be quite busy with family obligations in coming weeks so can't dive into much myself, but definitely all ears to anything you learn!

wayback machine has "save now" function where it will take a snapshot of the website if the website is not forbidding crawlers - that would be the easiest solution but i'm sure some websites will have crawlers disabled in robots.txt

Does it have a bulk capability where I could tell it to save every link on the page (in the 4-digits I believe 😅) or would I need to click through every single one manually?

You can use a browser extension from https://archive.is. Probably a lot of those articles are already archived there.
