I'm almost positive that they don't. Chances are it'd be a huge waste of
space with little appreciation. If they DID have sets in glass cabinets,
etc, I'd imagine that they'd only pick very popular sets as examples of
'Lego throughout the years' or some such.

They might have some more extensive records in Legoland Billund, but I doubt
they've got what you're looking for.

As implied, I don't think they feel it's worth their time. After all, it
wouldn't really produce them enough money (I don't think) to justify the
upkeep of something that extensive. Nor would that many people really take
interest in ALL of it. Sure it's easy nowadays with computer DB's, etc, but
back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and most of the 80's, it just wouldn't be
practical.
And granted that they're VERY secretive to the point of destroying certain
elements of their toy's creation (I don't know if I'm at liberty to go into
detail or not?), I highly doubt they've got extensive records, and even if
they did, that they'd be willing to share necessarily.
