Inhaltsangabe

While this illustrated manual provides important technical information about the selection and preservation of memorabilia for an extended period of time, the reader is also introduced to a much broader understanding of "time capsules" and the significance they hold for human societies. With this knowledge, it becomes rather obvious that a time capsule is not a box to be unceremoniously dropped into a hole and accidentally discovered in the future.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

As a career educator, teacher of world history and anthropology, and eventually Dean of Planning and Research at a small community college in western North Carolina, the author was once challenged with the task of preparing a time capsule for this college's twenty-fifth anniversary. To his surprise, only fragmentary sources could be found about the selection and location for a time capsule. Even a visit to Washington, D, C., and the Smithsonian failed to produce a comprehensive guide, neither a booklet nor a brochure, to explain the "how," "what" and "where" for the placement of this important collection of memorabilia. This publication came about as a result of his search for answers to this intriguing question. Following his retirement from Western Piedmont Community College, Larry Clark developed an interest in writing non-fiction and fiction
