Archiving Projects - Losing info on Time Entry

I am trying to close out a project so that no more time can be entered against the project since it is complete - however when I change the status to "Archived" - it no longer shows the hours logged against that project in my Time Entry Export.  
This inhibits my ability to track utilization across team members.

Is there a way to close a project but still be able to track the hours that were logged against it?
