I’m glad to help with accessing your Instagram Story Archive. Here’s how you can view your old stories: Open the Instagram app, go to your profile, tap the three-line menu in the top right corner, and select “Archive” or “Your Activity” (depending on your app version) to see all your past stories that are automatically saved there after they expire.

Regarding your other questions, yes, you can re-share stories from your archive to your current story by tapping on the story and selecting “Share,” and you can download them by selecting “Save” or “Download” from the options within the archive.
