I am still concerned about the rapid pace of media format change. Almost anything kept on 5 1/4" floppys are probably unreadable now a days. CD's and DVD's are rapidly heading down the same path.
In my lifetime (40+ years) paper seems to be the only thing readable after 25 years, ASSUMING it can be found more or less intact. Film can still be read after 80+ years but it is usually not tolerant of getting wet.
