Remote Thoughts
Hashing of content is a great way to deal with archiving, if we can get uniform hashes and query by hash across systems. Currently systems tend to suck at this - they hash not the resource, but the resource plus some local context, so the same resourcegets a differnt hash. IA uses SHA1 by default, but I've been waiting for them to ship the query by SHA1 since 2016

The Reynolds Journalism Insititute hosts an annual news/archiving conference every year, a lot of what they're discussing covers doing mass archiving https://www.rjionline.org/search/results?q=dodging+the+memory+hole
