There's a good chance the digital prints will outlast either the digital
files or the means to pull them up.

Twenty years ago, 8" floppies were still around.  Even if the bits have
remained entirely intact and the file is readable, good look finding
someplace that can 1) read the file itself, and 2) convert from whatever
file format was used into something readable today.
