A few years ago I visited the American Mountaineering Club in Golden, CO. Spent
some time in the archival library. Climate, humidity and fire control are very
important for long term preservation of our important work. There is indeed an

they are for permanent data storage, even when kept in the most pristine

In short, Mixon is right - you'll have to copy the contents of a CD-R/DVD-R
pretty often. More so than 20 years though. I've read an article, can't
