PVC is an unstable plastic that always outgasses. It's cheap, but ruins the integrity of anything you put in it. That gas mixes with inks and brighteners in the paper to accelerate yellowing and fading.

BOPP plastic and cardboard containers are much more stable and fit for long-term storage.
Out of curiosity, why away from PVC? Is it a concern about plasticisers? Or such

It should be easy for an archivist to search and find what they need - by artist/author, by date, by service, by categories. A digital archive that is totally disorganized and unsearchable is significantly less helpful!

Due to this lack of archival knowledge, all archives have issues.

Store all copies in at least 3 locations - local drive, backup collection, cloud. If any one service goes down, revert from backups immediately.

Make sure all materials follow the laws of any services you use. If storing sensitive materials prone to exclusion, encrypt it first. Laws change.

Include as much metadata from the original file as possible - when was it initially created? Who authored it?

3 copies: Original lossless format (TIFF, SVG, PDF with lossless settings), distributed historical format (Bitmap, JPG), and optimized format for distribution (PNG, WebP).

If restoring from a poorer quality, use advanced denoise algorithms gently and DO NOT sharpen the results. Try to maintain the original integrity without overshooting. The goal is to remove artifacts, not add more. More advanced techniques are used in the Virtual Furry Museum to emulate surfaces.

SO MANY HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS are poor-quality JPGs which is notoriously lossy and adds compression artifacts, obfuscating legibility and materials! If you have originals, rescan them using modern technology and higher quality. Store art as far away from UV light (sun) and PVC as possible.

Digital preservationists! Please use these guidelines:

Scan printed materials at least 150-300 DPI. In order of importance: legibility, then clear recognition of materials.

Save as TIFF. This is lossless and includes color profiles. Programs don't tend to read color profiles from PNGs properly.
