I visited the Computer History Museum this year during Vintage Computer Festival West. When not only can you tour the museum, but the upstairs rooms are crammed full of hundreds of amazing personal collections of vintage computing hardware all powered up and usable. It was a religious experience.

It will be interesting to see the durability of print vs digital content of time.

Many web properties are no longer accessible due to M&A activity and Small/solo publishers unable or unwilling to maintain their assets. Archives like WayBack Machine mitigates some of the loss of digital content so long as the archives themselves are still maintained.

Will spinning rust be as durable as Microfiche?

Not sure how long microfiche lasts for but someone posted a link here not too long ago about how record companies had embraced magnetic hard drives in the 1990s to store music masters and are starting to find that the drives are no longer readable.
