ink-n-paper.sys ?

cdrom is a good choice, widely readable (for now .. ) remember though that
technology advances, and the documents may no longer be readable in ten /
twenty years time, since the media will be obselete ... 

Can anyone recover data from a Tandy TRS-80 cassette-tape now ?

That said, paper doesn't like humidity too much unless you laminate ...
multiple formats, considering how little there is to store, CD / DVD / Paper
/ Other should all be possible, and perhaps warranted ?
