Morning all, I’m doing some enhancement of a record for a 1955 watching brief during which they found “a lead cylinder, completely sealed… in a brick pier at the corner of Fleet Lane and Seacoal Lane about 4ft below present ground level... It contained a glass tube with a heavy stopper, sealed by wax and intact. The contents of this tube or bottle were a sixpence of 1874; a charter recording the laying of the foundation stone for Messrs Cattell, Petter & Galpin on 1 January 1874; a Literary Year Book Catalogue and Illustrated Catalogue of the above firm for 1874; copies of the Echo newspaper for 1 January and 2 January 1874; and of The Daily News for 1 January 1874.” I’d like to create a record for this Time Capsule in HBSMR but I’m looking for a suitable thesaurus term. There is nothing in either the Finds/MDA Object Type or Monument Type thesauri that I can see that fits the bill. I suppose it could be a ‘Commemorative Object’, but that doesn’t seem quite right, and recording each component separately loses something of the character of the whole. Has anyone come across anything similar, or have any ideas on how best to record this?
