There has been no meaningful content added to this page since 2009. There have been some edits but no worthwhile contributions and even one of their main references called "Affordable Time Capsules" is a dead link. Not sure that that was about but it seems like a self serving commercial company. But the very scar thing is that this society's mission is to build an index of time capsules through submissions from time capsule planners. But where does that information go? Is it in public domain? Can we be assured it's not just a black hole where the info goes nowhere? I believe if this society is to maintain a presence and gather information there there should be some contributions and current involvement. What's your thought's on this? --Ourhistory153 (talk) 17:02, 29 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Nearly the entire article concerns time capsules in the United States. Which is fine, if they are predominantly an American thing, but if so, some mention should be made of that. Otherwise, it would be good to include more international examples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.249.219 (talk) 23:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Various documents point to the Jarvis book listed in "Further reading" as saying that this time capsule at the Centennial Exposition was the first planned capsule, but there is no mention in the article or at List of time capsules. Mapsax (talk) 02:00, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
