Once OneNote 2007 included the ability to create and maintain multiple notebooks, it was inevitable that users (including me) would archive completed projects and other non-current material. You just file old notebooks and create new ones as you need them.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see archiving functionality built into a future edition of ON.
