    Custodial history

    Scope and content

    A handwritten note taped to the exterior of the original time capsule box providing instructions that the capsule was not to be opened until the Student Alumni Association’s (SAA) 25th anniversary reunion, planned for November 2009. It is not known whether the anniversary event took place, whether the capsule was opened as intended, or whether it remained sealed.

    Physical condition

    The original time capsule container was a plain, reused cardboard box that was in poor condition at the time of accession. The box was discarded during processing and the contents were rehoused to ensure their long-term preservation. The handwritten note included in this file was removed from the original box and rehoused in a file folder.

    Immediate source of acquisition

    Transferred by Alumni Relations in July 2023.
