How can I remove or "archive" old courses and or terms from the admin view

Our college currently has every course and term from the beginning of time in our system.  When searching for courses in the admin view, courses from "day 1" appear and we need to either have the exact name of the course, search through a ton of "terms" or the exact link.  This is incredibly cumbersome when we are associating courses at the beginning of a semester or trying to find a specific course.  

Is there a way anyway to hide old unneeded courses and terms from view?  For instance, we like to only see terms and courses for the past 2.5 years on our courses list and when associating courses, only seeing the terms for the past 2.5 years.  

Since there is no real archive process in Canvas , what do other schools do that have large amounts of courses and a lot of terms/semesters in their systems?
