De-index entire archval site from google. robots.txt is the softest way to block the indexing and still might not work in some cases -- to fully get rid of the indexing you'd want to use:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex"> -- Explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47083230
But I think this would likely work well enough. It has for my personal site so far. It'll take a little troubleshooting to verify that this worked but I can submit another PR if adjustments need to be made.
One caution: if this does work, google wont recrawl in the future (though i think you can submit a re-crawl request) so best to make sure you actually want the full site de-indexed from the search results.
