Great response Greenlfc!  Yes, if we do do digital backups we will need to include media in various forms, optical drives, tape backup, solid state media, etc.  We will also need to include several varieties of computers so that those archives could still be read after being found many decades from now.  Also, you're right about printed material on acid free paper... this would be a great addition to the archives.

Thanks!
Cheers!
