A client exposed information regarding what will become a controversial website in the domain WhoIs after she purchased it from auction.

Is there any whois cache that will detect, save, and share the old whois information for that domain, after it has changed?

(It's a website to provide birth control in countries where it is banned, and she may receive death threats for the information shared on it. Obviously something she wishes to avoid.)
