I wonder how many peers are carrying and preserving fulltext historical and curent Usenet feeds.

Considering that all of the news servers that I've looked at have a /default/ configuration to expire articles, you're actually asking for a special configuration.
After Google killed Dejanews, (years ago) I would wonder if some of the big binary friendly news service providers might happen to have a VERY long text newsgroup archive simply based on size compared to binaries.
Beyond that, I'd start inquiring if anyone like the Library of Congress has an archive.  But I'd be somewhat surprised if they did.  Or if they did, I suspect that getting access to it in any capacity would be onerous.
