You know, I'd love to see some sort of "time capsule" buried on the Moon.
Something with a solar/nuclear battery that could last say 10K years. Put a
radio beacon on it and store as much knowledge as possible in a few
different formats.
Radio updates to it every year and every 5-10 years add physical medium
updates.
Sort of an insurance against various forms of industrial collapse.
That's a neat idea. Unlike pretty much any archive on Earth, you can
count on it remaining unmolested as long as civilization remains in
collapse.
