Hi, all,
missed the start of the tread, but:
Museum professionals here always commend to store analogue paper copies.
But for the period of a "few hundred years", one should have a look on
the paper quality, the print technique, the storage (most used: ring
binders) and the filing system. And most of all: a fire protected
environment.
Let me direct you to another problem near to it (resembling known
problems with record cards): How do you prevent illicit filing (see the
Drewe/Myatt case), wrong filing or illicit removing of files?
Best
Christian
