time capsule



I am starting a new job as archivist at Regis University, a Jesuit university
in Denver, CO. One of my first questions is from a volunteer group who want
to create a time "caplet", a small container about the size of a shoe box,
that they want to store seperately yet open at the same time a larger time
capsule is going to be opened in 2050. The question is what type of container
would preserve the paper items for the caplet for 50 years? Would a simple
archival box shrink - wrapped do the job? How airtight do you think this
needs to be?  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please reply to me at
zabehappy@aol.com.
Thank you.
