From the GDPR, recital 45:

> [...] where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest [...] the processing should have a basis in Union or Member State law.

I don't think that purpose of archiving has a basis in law.

That said, I do remember my law professor calling the 'right to be forgotten' one of the weaker parts of the GDPR, and I'm not an expert, so it's possible I'm missing something.
