Just a thought on paper in fires. Paper will indeed ignite at 451F. But papers pressed together with a non-metal or burnable weight will probably just get crispy around the edges. I've seen the aftermath of a house fire where the books were still readable. They stank, and were charred at the edges, but the information was still there.
