My advice has been/would be to plan forward and ensure all current and
future content is accessible. I would then have them put notations around
the site that if someone is having an issue accessing legacy content they
should contact a specific office who will retrofit that content and send it
directly to the person requesting or post for download.

The client could use language that the Library of Congress uses. We know
that they have tons of legacy content that is not accessible.
