Yes, it's easy to find the archive but it's hellish to use. For example, here: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?3289 , there's a reference to R105 and explains some important parts about that version of it.
Imagine now that I raise a CFJ that involves R105. How am I going to find that reference to R105 hidden in 3289? How am I (or the average player or newcomer) supposed to find all other references to R105 in your archive?
