I've given a lot of thought to this topic since my granddad died in 2009 at age 100. When he passed I kept thinking that it was the equivalent to a library burning.
I don't know if we will ever be able to invent a vehicle that will store and transmit the vast store of knowledge acquired by mankind. Maybe our souls are such vessels. Perhaps technical things can be stored, but to be able to archive the emotional and spiritual intelligence people have experienced would have to be something supernatural.
There are some interesting ideas embodied within a number of spiritual traditions that say the human experience is etched within a persons' soul and it continues after mortality and contributes to sentience morphing into sapience on a grand scale. I find this topic to be very thought provoking.

Just what we need . . . umpteen more copies of Silly Stuff spread all around the universe. ![(magazine)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/GyIHnQRZNKmrxfYBxNOl.gif)

They are not archiving for posterity only our silly stuff... storing all of Wikipedia, a lot of DNA, libraries of scientific info, music, art, etc., etc., ...
And encasing the necessary tools, microscopes, and instructions for future archeologists.
One of the archive deposits in the deep mine in Switzerland is to be encased in silica to last perhaps a billion years.
Not sure about the encasement storage methods for the libraries set on the Moon or placed into long term/permanent orbit.
Who knows?

1dave It may benefit someone in the distant future if you could store some of your studies, documents and books for the future in these archeological archives for posterity. Just a thought and a hope. Add your story to the Billion-Year Archive.

Will anyone ever exist that is interested in looking at it?
