I think that from all the modern ways of storing information, vinyl might be one of the most resilient. Archeologists will dig out and put together pieces of vinyl on the year 5014, like they do with ancient pottery today.

We probably will be known as "the great lovemaking civilization" despite all the atrocities commited, because of all the sleazy pop songs pressed on millions of vinyl records. I bet the ancient greeks would have put much more effort into factual accuracy of their pottery decoration too, if they only knew.
