A lot of people already suggests several databases or plaintexts like json.

But to be honest if the dataset is not too big and doesn’t grow (since it is historical anyway), why not just use markdown with Hugo (a static site generator). You could also make use of its supported search tools to search texts in the stories.

As a bonus, since it’s a static website, you can host it and share it to the world!

Well, with that domain name I can’t really hide it.

To your point, think about it this way: AI, at this stage, still need someone to tell then what to do. Whether you’re good programmer or a bad programmer, AI still need you. Not until we get ASI, anyway.

I hope this makes you feel better?
