I'm not sure how interested the NSA would be in archiving information that's 100 or more years old, especially as the cost of doing so might become very significant for that volume of data. It's also far from clear that they'd ever give this information to any other agency or corporation for safekeeping, even if they no longer have a use for it themselves. They might not ever even give researchers access to it.
