Color Computer Archive might be worth reaching out to.

Archive.org might also be willing.

And, like wikipedia - it may be possible to start tracking cocopedia page
snapshots that archive.orgs wayback machine harvests.

I can only assume someone has written a tool to check Wayback's shadowing of 
pages for a "last snapshot date"

There may be a way to submit sitemaps *to* archive.org to help wayback snapshot
check more frequently and keep a closer watch.

Also, make sure the bots from places like archive.org are allowed by
robots.txt.

Heck, maybe ask OpenAI if they scraped cocopedia into ChatGPT *laughing*

And, I know that a certain three-letter agency with a datacenter in Utah that
went online a couple of years ago certainly has "cloud backups" - the trick is
finding the request page to get copies of them back...
