Well you can buy or hire space on secure disk storage systems in capitalist enterprises called "archives" or something. Not expensive. Look up "archive" on a search engine. But a disk archive, well it might outlive you but not 300 years like a painting, but I don't know if there will be a world in 2305 AD! I'll be dead 300 years or so. We might all be living on Mars by then! Chris.
