Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
Eastern began the practice of placing time capsules in building cornerstones as early as 1909 when the Roark Building was built. Most of these are still hidden behind the cornerstones; however, when the older buildings began to be demolished, the time capsules were retrieved and the contents sent to Special Collections and Archives. The contents in some of these was badly damaged, but in all cases inventories of the contents were compiled to point researchers to the original materials. In most cases the contents are Eastern publications from the time the capsule was created, but occasionally there are more personal items added like family photographs and news clippings about the individual the building was named after.
