Is is possible to archive a logged in session so that it is possible to view the contents of that site? Sorry if this question is retarded.

I don't know the answer, but get screenshots ASAP.

You mean with sites like archive.today or the Wayback Machine? No, they don't have access to your session cookie. I know that archive.today has its own Facebook account that it logs in with, though.

This. If what you're looking at disappears when your session expires, always screenshot it.

Yes, you can. Web archiving sites like archive.org and archive.md are basically just streamlined interfaces for WARC recording and playback. They spin up a browser and record what happens when it visits the URL you submitted.
If you record your own WARCs locally then you can log in or do whatever crazy shit you want, because you have full control of the browser. One cool thing about local recording is that it isn't limited to a single URL — if you start the recorder and just browse around normally, it'll automatically archive every page you visit until you stop recording. It'll bundle all of the archives into a single WARC file, but you'll still be able to view each archived URL individually and split into separate WARC files if you want.
If you want to try making your own archives, Conifer is probably the most accessible way to start. It's got a nice friendly desktop application and gives you 5GB of free integrated cloud storage to easily back up and share your archives. The cloud shit is purely optional — you can turn it off and just save your WARCs locally if you want. Here are some links to get you started:
If you're a seasoned autismo and you want more options there are tons of WARC recorders to choose from. Here are three different lists of WARC shit:
github.com
github.com

Whatever you decide to use, it's important to keep in mind that WARC recorders can and will record potentially sensitive information. If you log into your personal Facebook account so that you can archive something, the WARC you create will at the very least have your name and picture in it. You can manually edit WARCs to replace or remove sensitive information like that, just be sure to double check so you don't dox yourself like an idiot.
