Greetings, STHC cronies:

My employer, the College of American Pathologists, will break ground in
August for an addition that will double the size of our current 10-year-old
building.  This brings good news and bad news:  The good news is that we'll
have a real, though basic, archives facility for the first time.  The bad
news (well, I need your advice on whether it's bad) is that the idea has
been raised of including a time capsule in or adjacent to the new building.

Any of you have experience or thoughts on this subject that you'd care to
share?  I leave it to your discretion whether to reply to me or to the whole
list.

Thanks!
