If something has been placed in the clipboard (CTRL+C or rightclick copy) is it possible to automatically log that into a logfile (append)? So someone can still read the clipboard from weeks ago?

Full disclosure: I'm the author of the suggested software
Yes, possible with clipboard manager. It has to be on to record what is being placed into clipboard. If you want to review what was in clipboard from a week ago, but you had no clipboard manager running - there's no way to review previous information, as clipboard is not actively stored anywhere by operating system or desktop environment itself.
Specifically, I'd suggest Indicator Bulletin, of which I am the author, exactly because clipboard entries are timestamped, so you can search by time. Again, to review clipboard entries the software has to run to record clipboard.
Installation via PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:1047481448-2/sergkolo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-bulletin
