I'm pretty sure that GoogleReader keeps its own archive on their servers to provide historical feed items - so you'd have to implement your own archiving on your server to get the same functionality (unless GoogleReader publishes any API you could use for this purpose).
In the general case, given any XYZ company that publishes RSS for their web content, they of course don't have any obligation to keep archives of their past RSS feeds.
