I think Geeta this all depends on your approach of building your document types in the first place. It's not going to be an inbuilt Umbraco thing but more a question of how you structure your data (or for an existing site what you've inherited!).
You don't say what your issue is but I'm going to guess you have something like a News Parent Container with news items below. This will quickly grow if you publish lots of news articles and become a big long list.
Let's say you have a news parent and want to "archive" news items after a set amount of time. You could just create a parent type of News Archive and then move the article nodes into this (even locate this "archive") below the News container. This would change the URL of the articles though - I wouldn't go this way.
One approach would be to create sub parent container document types called NewsMonth or similar and name these 01-2014 etc.. this will also mean news articles would have a URL /latest-news/01-2014/My-exciting-news-article - each month you create a new container and continue from there. So your tree structure *could* look like this:
home - Some Section - Some other section - Latest News - 01-2014 - 02-2014 - News article 1 in feb ..... - My Exciting News Article - 03-2014
I guess you might say that eventually you'll have a lot of these month containers - again you might want to then "tidy" these away to a news archive section - here, again, you'd be moving nodes so would want to set up 301 redirects for SEO juice goodness.
If you've got an existing site and are finding you have a lot of content building then you're going to have to probably move some items around and change your document type structure (again ensure you look at redirects if you go this route).
Esentiall you need three doc types (with the child structure allowing the creation of them in the order shown):

Hi Geeta,
What do you mean about archive? Do you want to freeze current state of Umbraco content ?
Thanks, Alexandr
Hello,
Maybe you can use this package for it: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/udatefoldersy
