My 30 years paper photos are mostly lost now.. too many house moves, too much physical stuff. On the other hand, my high school projects from decades ago, as well as my first digital photos, are still with me, somewhere in the "archive" folder. They are only a few megabytes after all, an insignificant amount of space for a long time. It's easier to keep copying entire "archive/" to new machines rather than sort it. And for photos in particular, I know there is an archive on each machine I owned, and on many external drives, at least a dozen copies. I'd say the chances of them surviving 1000 years in are pretty high, much higher than physical photos.
