Put it all on a cheap laptop.
Seal that up (without the battery) and they may be able to access the data
in a hundred years or so.
Assuming they still have electricity that is.


Didn't I write that ?



Anything on computer storage is likely to be unreadable in 100 years time as
standards have changed a few times.

You didn't really pay attention there did you ?

As long as you have 'lektrik, all you need to do is plug it in and
switch it on, the standards, obsolete or not, are internal to the
computer and as long as the electronics still works will be quite
readable
