Web Syndicated Archiving Tools / RSS Mashups

[Steve Cherry]

Sounds like you could use the Archive-It, the Internet Archive's web
crawling service, which has the ability to save RSS feeds. After
setting up the feeds you want to crawl and the frequency with which to
crawl them, the process is automatic. You'd just need to monitor the
results to make sure you're getting the content you wanted.

Or if you wanted to store the content locally you could install
Heretrix, the software that powers Archive-It.

The following URLs would have more information:
