Another thing to do is a combination of
everyone’s suggestions, keep the originals in the archive or in an
environmentally safe-indoor location and, if a time capsule is wanted or
required, bury photocopies of everything in the time capsule. Surely, the
information the papers contains is more important than the age or type of paper
the information is placed on? (and after being in a time capsule for a couple
years, the papers inside the capsule should have an authentic look and feel to
them anyway….)
