Nor is it advisable. Single point of failure. One nice thing about the internet is it is distributed and redundant. So too must be the archives.
A while back I heard about an archiving project to convert audio recordings to a (primitive) technology that uses disks that could be played back without electricity. I forgot what that project was called or who was doing it.
Personally, I don't like the idea of preparing for a world without electricity, because that isn't a world I'd want to live in. However, as long as the non-electronic archives are also made available digitally, I'm fine with that.
