Hi,
My experience so far has been that the big publishers are selling their archives as subject collections for one-time fees. They include Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, Oxford University Press and LWW@Ovid The archival years start somewhere in the mid-90's and go back to v. 1.

There may be other society publishers that are selling their archives for a one-time. All I can think of at the moment is the American Society of Clinical Oncology (JCO) besides the American Physiological Society.
