  • The ITCS has set up a registry of time capsules, and has 3000 groups listed.[4][5] The ITCS estimates there are between 10,000 and 15,000 time capsules worldwide.[1][9] Paul Hudson of Oglethorpe University estimated that more than 80 percent of all time capsules are lost and will not be opened on their intended date.
  • The ITCS held a series of conferences at Oglethorpe University at their campus in Atlanta, Georgia.[1]
  • The ITCS is currently digitizing the library of time capsule records it holds and publishing them in the WorldCat

Crypt of Civilization

Main article: Crypt of Civilization

The International Time Capsule Society was founded at Oglethorpe University, home of the Crypt of Civilization, the first modern time capsule.

Lost time capsules

The International Time Capsule Society is also in search of several time capsules that supposedly at one time existed, however are presently lost.[10][11] It requests that the whereabouts of any of the lost capsules be reported to them.[11] New methods using GPS coordinates are underway to prevent time capsules from getting lost in time.
