its never stupid to have back-ups like this. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. he's spending less to attempt to archive all knowledge than we spend on one missile.

Everyone is offering bits of advice and thought.
Upon further thought myself, I wish the project had been started in a "dry" cave somewhere. "Dry" to protect the books. A dry cave in a rocky mountain in an arid land. Actually I have visited a place like that. They stored scrolls in pots for over a thousand years.
We have those (caves, tunnels, mines) in South West America.
