Our parent organization is celebrating its 100th anniversary in
    1996 and as part of our celebration the Museum has been chartered
    to develop a time capsule.  This poses many challenges to us
    because we are a national organization with 18,000 members. A time
    capsule like this differs greatly from the type offered to
    families.  Also, this time capsule will not be buried or sealed,
    although the contents will be displayed at some future date.
    Thus far we have thought about including memoirs from selected
    members, and ephemeral items from the 1996 meeting.  We will also
    include some objects (which is still under discussion).



    Has anyone out there taken on a similar project.  If so, what did
    you include in your time capsule?  Also, were you able to create
    some interactive elements?  We will display the capusle during our
    annual meeting where approx. 10,000 members
    will have the opportunity to view and possibly interact with it.

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
