Accessing an old blog offline

I guess its a wordpress export file..if so then then if you want them to only keep it as a record then you can register a free blog address (like a wordpress.com account) and then import your blog export file over there.

And as you mentioned that they dont want to change the posts contents as well as nor want to receive any comments for it then wordpress gives us the flexibility to choose privacy options for getting the content indexed in search engines or not as well as to allow or decline people to comment on our posts.

If you decline everything then you can surely view only your blog posts. Also you can then copy posts to a text file after doing these for a record and then delete the blog you created above.

Hope this solves your query.

does it need to look like it did online? Or just need the content?

I use https://www.blogbooker.com/ to make a pdf ‘book’ of my site sometimes to send to people…..the results are pretty nice looking actually

httrack could be used to convert the blog into a static website, that you can save on and view from a cd rom.
