Not particularly user friendly, yet, but Arweave [0] was built specifically for this use case.

Sounds a lot like Archive.org? Am I missing something?

Yeah, it's similar but Archive.org relies on servers to store information, whereas Arweave is a decentralised peer-to-peer network that offers permanent data storage. Arweave are in talks with them and are working with the IA to timestamp all of their collections.
