Time Capsules - Testaments to the Value of Mementos and Artifacts

One ultimate way to recognize mementos and artifacts of significance is the time capsule. See a great description including photos of what was contained in a century old time capsule from 1913 at this link http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/this-is-what-they-found-inside-a-100-year-old-time-capsule-from-1913.

Collections of the over-fifty crowd. Dinosaur Bones.

Mementos are defined by me as an object to help remember - a souvenir - a memory of a person, a place or thing. We collect mementos as physical symbols sometimes as gifts from friends or family. This blog will be partly about the things we collect as tangible tokens of love, life and living.

Artifacts are defined as objects of culture. What are your symbols of culture - your social existence, your personal artifacts.  I will share a few of my symbols and hope that sometimes you will share as well as we link topics of  culture with artifacts - personal, national and global.
