One step in the right direction is to keep the representation of information simple, or to transform it to something simple for long-term archiving. Frameworks and Browsers change. External services change. But, unless its stored with no backup and the medium fails, an ASCII textfile composed 50 years ago is still readable today, and will likely still be readable in 100 years. And thanks to UTF-8 being pretty much ubiquitous these days, we don't even have to limit ourselves to ASCII any more. I am not saying to make every page a textfile. I am merely saying that one step to preserve digital information for generations yet to come, is to represent it in simple and robust formats. And if simple is not an option (eg. media will probably need to be use a compression format), then well documented and open formats should be used.
