Yes try Time Capsules and Yes, a good one can be expensive. We made one back in 1987 as part of a ceremony recreating the laying of cornerstone of the hall in 1891. I believe we paid $1500 for it. I agree with having a ceremony and then placing the material someplace else. During our renovation in 1986, I actually saw the box placed in 1891 but we could not gain access to it without lifting hundreds of pounds of stone and causing much delay in the schedule.... alas, there it remains....

I've been told that a good time capsule (i.e. one that will actually preserve the documents) is extremely expensive (i.e. $1300 for a 12" container). You can also write to the Georgia Dept. of Archives & History for guidelines--reference@sos.state.gov.us They would do better just to put everything into a box--have a ceremony and then find someone to store it rather than burying it. > ***************************************************************** Beth S.
