While it's admirable to hoard everything, and future historians (read: most likely inquisitive relatives) might be lucky enough to inherit one of your archives that hasn't succumbed to bit rot (which, even with proper storage, may be well under 10 years), don't overlook the relatively simple way to maximize the chances of your images being enjoyed by people in the future and today: make prints! The best way I've found is to make photo books. Most companies use print technology that lasts upwards of 200 years https://your-digital-life.com/long-will-photo-books-last/ https://your-digital-life.com/long-will-photo-books-last/. Print a few books, give them to a few relatives, and you can be assured that the best of your photos will be viewed for decades to come. This way you can share your best while still hoarding that archive of every. last. photo.
