My grandmother, who was a child in ww2 and experienced extreme resource scarcity after the war, would keep a lot of potted/preserved food in the cellar. After she passed, we didn't really see that as useful and dumped it all (it didn't appear particularly edible to us - maybe if you're starving.)
What I mean by that is, people probably only keep what is useful to them. And if your collection is seen as useful to some people in a couple decades isn't really easy to tell. Depends on the circumstances I'd say.

Though I think you can get a good idea by asking yourself questions like "what things of my grandfather's am I interested in?" and "what kinds of things of their grandfathers are people often interested in?" Also, someone's always interested in genealogy. So I bet a short bio with a good photo, spread around in a few physical copies, will probably be preserved for quite some time.
