    You really think an old parchment document would survive being in a high vacuum and near absolute zero?

    Yeah sure, nothing lasts forever, but the really not the point. Your goal is to attempt to preserve your articles forever.

    Are you going to fall short? Absolutely, but your still required to attempt to do so. So you avoid doing anything directly harmful, such as operating an old computer, firing an old cannon, or diving an old car.

      Parchment would survive the vacuum and near zero most likely quite good, parchment is a type of leather after all and way more sturdy then paper, the process of thawing would be a way bigger issue. And should it ever thaw fast and uncontrolled that would for sure ruin it completely
