But for >40 year storage JPEG's should be quite fine particually 4000
dpi high quality JPEGs, those found to be of importance can be
transfered to lossless formats and edited. If you can push something
forward that long with only the loss of one high quality JPEG
compression you are well ahead of the game. 

It's a small loss compared to making a print say, much less pushing a
collection of prints that would fit on a CD. Much easier to store so
likely to be stored under favorable conditions. Of course it's also
easier to make multiple copies  

Also possible to much easier and cheaper to make multiple copies.
