During Roesch Library\u27s renovation, we discovered and opened a time capsule left within a wall during the building\u27s construction in 1970. We decided to pay it forward and asked the campus community to contribute items and ideas to best represent UD and the world in 2019

We decided to pay itforward by building a small metal case in a  rst- oor wallto hold a new batch of materials. In fall 2019, we askedthe campus community to contribute items and ideas tobest represent UD and the world.The 2019 time capsule was complete but not yet packedup by March 2020, when the University sent everyone towork and study remotely in response to the worldwideCOVID-19 pandemic. We are just now all arriving back tothe building after over a year of loss, physical distancing,working from home and wearing face coverings.Although there would be a lot to share and keep in thistime capsule about 2020, we decided to keep it as is, atime capsule of the year 2019. Looking at these items nowimpacts us in a new way … and makes it feel like thattime is very far from where we are today. Items in the 2019 time capsule are:● Program and prayer from Roesch Library’s blessing onSept. 27, 2019● Miniature Nativity set● “Mary Across Our Campus” brochure● Five nun doll buttons, made with the Libraries' buttonmaker, available for checkout● Finals week space theme button● FOAPAL mouse pad from the reorganization of theUniversity’s chart of accounts● Roesch Refresh bracelet ● T-shirt from Kanye West’s Sunday Service held on AugP R E V I O U SP O S TLibrariesCatalog: NewDesign,Functionalityon Aug. 4The UniversityLibrariescatalog has anew look withbetter andclearerfunctionality.Read MoreN E X T  P O S TGirls’ Town:Gone but NotForgottenA new onlineexhibituncovers thehistory of areligiouscommunityformerlylocated inCincinnati thatprovidededucation, ahome and afuture for"wayward" andMaterials were backed up digitally on a USB drive andsealed in a specialized pouch; they’re also stored in theUniversity’s cloud-based storage system, Box. We didn’tbury the time capsule, so we didn’t need to take as manyprecautions for dirt or water.Preserving campus life and experiences is fundamental forfuture researchers. University Archives collects facultypapers, publications and data; materials from studentorganizations; photos and memorabilia; and more.Technically, the Archives is one big time capsule, and youare welcome to contribute to it.
