For an archive of human knowledge, there's the Third World Development Online Library, compiled by Alex Weir, which is a 13GB archive of 900+ books on Agriculture, Livestock, Food safety, Construction, Mathematics, Technology, Metalworking, Finance, and many more. I don't think it's updated anymore but I linked a copy below, as well as a wikpedia link about the archive.
I'm hoping one day someone will gather all this information together and record it on giant stone blocks placed around the world, as insurance for future generations.
