Rick W -

You mention that some collectors keep private papers in safety deposit boxes. That's what I do, but it would be much more convenient to keep them in a good safe in the home. I'm sure others keep such documents inside their gun safe.

When I was searching for a gun safe and discussed the document issue with the dealer, he suggested that I buy a small document sized fire-resistant box and store it within the gun safe. I believe that the gun safe I was considering was rated at 1200 degrees F for 40 minutes. The dealer stated that paper stored within the safe would burn after that time, but that paper inside a document-sized, fire-resistant box within the gun safe would survive much longer.

Seems logical, but I don't know how that argument would hold up to real analysis. Frankly, I don't know enough about the physics to have a valid opinion, but I wonder if anyone else has considered this approach.
