Only if you print on expensive archival quality paper.  Most books
printed today would be lucky to last 50 years because of the acid
content in the paper.

While I'm not sure about a website in particular, I think digital
content is more likely to exist.  So if you make it a website and let
archive.org pick up a copy (which they do automatically) and keep it up,
but also give many people pdfs or text files, all while being sure to
keep a readable copy over the years as you change computers I think it
might well last.

But 200 years is a long time.
