It seems obvious that they should be. Project reports are often between project managers and their funding agencies. They may be accessible via the Freedom of Information Act, or voluntarily from the project managers, but aren't typically posted as public information.

Do folks like BBN and DARPA have archives? BBN has an excellent library which has copies of BBN technical reports. So if we were asked to produce an official BBN report, they've got a copy. However a lot of what was written for customers never became reports and that stuff generally isn't archived by BBN (my understanding is that material sent to DARPA more than a decade or so ago has been deposited in the National Archives but I have not sought to learn where ARPANET stuff might be). Tragically, for ARPANET, BBN *did* keep copies of everything until about 1990, when in an office move, an assistant was told to figure out what to do with the (many file cabinets) of material and she chose to discard it. I would like to believe that everything in those file cabinets is also in the National Archives, but my bet is history lost some useful stuff.
