How do you future proof your digitally archived documents?

For Documents, you need to store it in either PDF or TIFF format. I would utilize the TIFF format for long term storage, personally, as Adobe does change the PDF format on a regular basis. Thus far, they have done a wonderful job of maintaining backwards compatibility with previous versions, but I wouldn't bank on it in the long term. TIFF, on the other hand, is an open specification that has changed little since the early 90's, and is the safest bet for long term readability. It is also the preferred format of most document management systems, as there is little "fluff" in the format, and OCR engines perform quite well on it.
