You can do something like this:

By TODO keyword to grab the DONE entries.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((entries (org-map-entries
                (lambda ()
                  (save-restriction
                    (org-narrow-to-subtree)
                    (buffer-string)))
                "TODO=\"DONE\"")))
  (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "new"))
  (org-mode)
  (mapcar 'insert entries))
#+END_SRC
