That's not strictly tenable, as the range of history is so vast that
contemporary historians only ever write about a small portion of it,
and even then sometimes only briefly. Some stuff is just waiting for
historians to write about it, or not as the case may be. Some stuff
from 150 years ago has been written about 20 years ago, but may not be
returned to by future historians for another 100 years, if at all.

Nevertheless something that is never mentioned in a nonfiction book or
journal article over 250 years could be said to have dropped from the
canon of knowledge and could then be archived.
