It seems that after cards are archived, they are removed from the boards they were associated with. I'm hoping that's not the case and that various metadata about the cards are tracked. What I want to be able to check is the state of a list (or board) at a specific timestamp in time.

Currently, you can only view open boards, so you'd need to re-open the archived board first.
Once you've re-opened the board, you should be able to
- Click "Options"
- Click "Archived Items"
Cards can be archived too. This is the preferred way to handle completed cards/boards. Archived items are hidden from board view but can still be searched for and returned from the archive if desired.
When actually deleting a card the system reports "There is no undo" with this action.
Adoption by our team members (< 20 in our case) was very quick (less than a month) once we showed them all the basics.

No to "snapshot in time", Your Trello board is always a current version of your items (lists, cards) as they are now.
Your Archived cards are still stored within the board. Once you Archive a card, it is stored in "Archived Items" under the board Menu with all of the other archived cards.
There is no way to go back and see any previous state of your boards. Always move forward.
