Time Capsule, Saving memories for the future

Why not give your mum a thoughtful, unusual gift this year. Chocolates, flowers and slippers may fulfill the commitment, but with a little thought you could really make her feel happy and appreciated.

The answer? Buy her a Time Capsule from www.The100YearWebSite.com. Fill the capsule with photographs from her life, video messages from you and your siblings, scan in important documents that will mean something to her. If she has grandchildren get them to draw pcitures for their gran and scan them in. Include some of her favourite music as well.

Once she has her capsule she will be able to add her own information in future years. The Time Capsule will give her a place for all her memories to look back and enjoy in years to come.

Rumbled !!!!

In our post on the 7th February about setting up a baby time capsule we mentioned that one of the staff members here has had a great idea to take a photo of the child and family on the same day every year, he aims to do this for at least 20 years. This will be a really interesting piece of work that should be great to look back on in future years.

We have since found out that the person in question does not actually have their own brilliant ideas but instead came accross the idea whilst surfing the internet. Tea duty for the next 20 years !!!! Can you imagine, they actually let it slip whilst in a meeting with our MD (there’s Mondays for you).

This is still a great idea, and you can see the end result of 30 years of photos at The Arrow of Time (link to follow). An Argentinian photographer called Diego Goldberg has taken a photo of all the members of his family on the 13th June every year since 1976, when they are all put together it makes fascinating viewing. The first photos are just of him and his wife, then over the years you see the children appear and grow up. BRILLIANT!

After seeing this we have all decided that we are going to do our own version of this in our Time Capsules.
