>Is there a way to export the archives from a list?

You have received 2 fine answers which are essentially the same.  This will
work for the List Owner but depending on how old the list is, how active it
was, etc. that could be a lot of work.  For example a list that is 20 years
old and averages 5-8 messages per day, will have 240 archive files totaling
over 200MB (based one of my real lists). 

Another solution (outside of LISTSERV) is to simply ask the server
administrator to zip up all the LISTNAME.LOGyymm files on disk and send that
zip archive to the List Owner.  The files are all simply plain text files so
they will compress a fair amount.  This could be a lot easier and faster.
