---> Will articles that were published on the previous website be available at some point?
Originally, I planned to do that. As I started doing just that, I soon found out that many of the articles were now obsolete. Many URLs (web addresses) change over time, quite a few companies go out of business, others get purchased by other companies and are folded into the new owners' web sites, and more. In short, simply copying and pasting articles soon became a poor idea.
In its place, I am in the midst of an updated plan: I can see a hit counter on every article, showing how many times someone has visited that article. I am manually going through all the articles, identifying the more popular articles, and then manually re-writing them to contain up-to-date information. I am making slow progress with that but I feel the end result will be more useful articles.
Some articles, such as an article in 2003 describing an "upcoming" conference to be held later in that year, will not be copied over to the new software. It wouldn't be very valuable.
