This tip shows you how to create an Atom feed that lets users page through it using "next" and "previous" links or button.

Nuff said?
edit: why downvote? It'd be trivial for most site to make ALL past items available, without having to offer one huge feed with all those items in it, and any reader would be free to read all those items when subscribing to a feed. There, done.

Couldn't you (gently) use the wayback machine for this? Or just start crawling feeds with something like scrapy? There isn't enough RSS, I feel, to make this prohibitive.

Feedly does this, it's what I have used after Reader was shut down.
You go and add a feed, and then you don't just get the latest 20 posts. Instead you get all the posts since the beginning of the feed, since google saw it then during a crawl and decided to watch it ever since.
That is something that is a fair bit harder to provide by any competitors
