Abstract

This collection contains objects from the unearthed 1962 NTSU Time Capsule. Numerous campus publications, letters, and recordings are contained within this collection.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

Both the 1962 and 1988 time capsules were unearthed on April 16th, 2015 in celebration of the UNT’s 55th annual University Day. On May 10th, 1961, University Day was established to commemorate the designation of North Texas State College as a university. The 1962 time capsule was inspired by a similar capsule United Students of North Texas members viewed at the Texas State Fair. Contained within the capsule are numerous issues of Campus Chat, copies of university publications, audio recordings from campus events, and other objects.

The NTSU 1962 Time Capsule was buried on May 10th, 1962 on the first annual University Day. The capsule was buried in front of the Administration Building, and measured 9 x 14 x 11 and weighed 350 lbs.
