We do not have an Archive specific folder in the system but if you simply set a project to completed (not deleted), the project will remain in the database and can be referenced.
You cannot incorporate hours from a deleted or completed Project, there are no roll-up rules that support this. IF the project was still active or open or even on hold, then you could create a custom action/workflow to add hours from one project to another.
You can also add it as a shortcut to a current project and you will see that the hours from the shortcut project are rolled up into the new, active project.
