That relies on NYT still being in business to make their archives available, among other failures modes.

Historians, genealogists, etc. find it valuable to look at news reports from several hundred years ago. It's important to society for a prominent paper's articles to be archived somewhere independent of the news organization itself.

Plenty of libraries archive the Times. It still produces print and microfiche editions.
