When I looked into this a few years ago, the best archival solution  
was either paper (storage problem) or microfiche. Statistics Canada  
which has a mandate to keep the census data for 75 years didn't know  
of better solutions. They still deliver stacks of paper and  
microfische to Canada's National Archive for storage. Of course, the  
National Archive is running out of space to store all this paper.  
Dealing with electronic medium was a problem they just started to  
explore and it is a real headache for all the normal reasons.

Is there a service which converts digital images (RAW files?) into  
negatives or positives on traditional film stock? :)

Spencer
