Good Morning Joshua,
Please don't bury it...... just seal it, identify it with instructions
as to when the capsule is to be opened..........and put the time capsule
on a shelf in your museum's storage area. That way, 100 years from now,
folks will know where it is..... and the contents will not be destroyed
by water infiltration, etc.......
This museum buried a time capsule on the museum's grounds as part of the
dedication of the construction of a new wing over a couple of decades
ago. Back then, everyone knew exactly where it was buried......now,
everyone has either forgotten about it, can't remember "exactly" where
it is buried.....or isn't even aware of it.
Best Wishes,
Wesley

Dear Colleagues:
A local organization has inquired about putting a time capsule together
and I was curious to see if there are any recommendations on materials
and "planting". Not too big, enough to hold some magazines, newspapers,
and small artifacts. The more cost effective the better I would say.
Thanks ever so much,
