I got told in my library days that books printed prior to 1806 (I think it 
was 1806, don't quote me whatever you do) will last thousands of years, 
but paper technology changed at that time and anything after that date 
will have acid in it and may last 50, 100 or so years (depending on 
storage and use).

Personally I think I'm in much better shape than many of my younger 
counterparts.

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked
and they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Harry Peck and Co and
Glenn". Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
