By pages, do you mean the underlying scripts that ran the web site?
OTOH, if you mean the output of the scripts, the originals are still online.

I would contribute to such an effort, but I don't
have time to
spearhead it on my own. ?We should organize a group of willing

I'm in a similar position. The point of my original question was to
gauge whether anything had already been done and, if not, think about
what it would take to get this moving.
?I'd suggest
making it an open source project with distributed version control to
it as easy as possible to contribute.
Yes, I think openness would be the key here. I would go as far as to
suggest that a design requirement would be that the site could easily
be picked up and moved to a different host or, better yet, replicated
from the get-go.
