Over the last year I have embedded about 600 YouTube videos in my archival site with the permission of their owners. Thus far, about 28 have become inactive, mostly because the owners closed their accounts, didn't like the results of their efforts, or were deleted because of copyright complaints. Since my site is on-line and not published in any form of hard copy, it is possible to remove embedded videos if the originals are removed so that visitors are not presented with dead videos which can be as frustrating as dead hyper-links, but it takes continuous attention and routine updating. For your purposes, I would suggest not publishing addresses to Internet sites or pages, but rather using the time to create your own account with your own videos so you are in control of their future. Relying on any Internet source for something intended to be as permanent as your archive sounds is risky at best.
