Sounds good.  This would be stored for future generations, like 40-200 years. So for this purpose a hollowed out compartment on a chair might not work so well, however your ideas of microSD cards is a good one.  I've seen name brand microSD manufacturers put out chips with 512 G of data.  So storing data on microSD cards would be more dense in terms of data to physical volume.  Also with Samsung cards they offer "x-ray proof, water proof, and one other feature that doesn't come to my mind at this time.... i think the extra feature is heat proof.  But anyways, the Samsung cards seem to be the very best.  I'm thinking now of getting one of those super heavy duty \hard plastic storage boxes for guns and valuables.  They go for about $120 USD and would make the whole kit having an extra layer of water protection.  These boxes also don't break down, as in never ever break down.  Which from an environmental perspective is horrible, but for this purpose would be just fantastic.

What do you think of for a place that these can be stored?  I'm thinking at the bottom of a lake with a very large concrete block attached or being encased in concrete on all sides but one... any ideas?

Another thought is if it were attached to concrete blocks at the bottom of a lake it would need to have included a laptop or small computer I'd need an extra large protective case for the archive to be stored on, so we're looking big here in terms of physical storage for the kit...

The reason it would need a laptop (or hardened computer) is because it would need to be accessible from future generations who have long since forgotten what our tech now-a-days is like.  Also, in the winter time it would need to survive -20degC temperatures at the bottom of the lake.

What's your words on this everyone?
