Getting CD-ROM's pressed?

I'm working on a project in RTE in Ireland, and I need to store quite a lot of
information concerning TAM ratings going back for the last 30 years (a LOT of
info...). One of the ideas I'm considering is getting CDROM's custom pressed
for me, but I'm not all that sure where I can get this done.

Does anyone out there know of any companies, preferebly in Ireland, England or
Europe, but the States will do too, that will do this for me? Is it expensive?
Do I need to specify the EXACT format of the data on the disks (i.e.
interleaving, those little bits that stop the laser from being swamped, etc. -
an exact map of the disk in other words) or can I just give them files and ask
them to put these on it (the prefered option).

It is necessary for this information to be help on some sort of high capacity
removable media (like WORM, etc..), 'cause it will be archived in a library,
and floppies just aren't up to the job...

Hope someone out there can help me.. Oh, and please reply by email. If there is
enough interest in this, I'll post a summary to the above groups.

Thanks!
