Currently, the history pages are published by government frontend - this can't simply be replaced with special routes in Publishing API because the contents of the page have to go into the content store to be searchable. The current solution is for them to be published directly from the frontend app, and it's a bit of a mess (there's ERB code in the body). We want to move rendering over to Frontend, but it would be better if we could make the content item a bit more rational, and publish them from an app (Whitehall) - This would also serve as a first step to it having a UI that content people can use to make edits (if it turns out that is necessary).
