Basic Preservation Kit for Time Capsules
This box preservation kit contains more than 32 different items (and multiples of some of those - you get at least 93 items in the kit). Because our preservation kits have evolved over time, this kit will not match the same designation we had 10 years ago! We've used customer feedback to help decide what items you want to see in a kit.
Basic supplies in our kits include acid free tissue, 9x12 and other sizes of buffered archival paper envelopes, archival plastic sleeves for various sizes of photos and digital documents, archival Permalife paper, plastic bags in handy document sizes, Corrosion Intercept pouches, and a Preservation Kit Instructions Booklet as well as labeling instructions on the items.
Other things in the kit include the Time Capsule Inventory Sheet, Magazine Bags, Document Sleeves, Desiccant, Archival Tissue, and of course our main booklets: Preservation Hints for Time Capsule Items, 12 Tips to Planning a Successful Time Capsule Project, 100 Time Capsule Ideas: Things to Put in a Time Capsule, and Preserving Newspapers.

Hints:
Use this size for time capsules whose volume is from about 800 to 2000 cubic inches or as a basis for more supplies later on. Yes, you can use it as a starter kit!
Add a couple packs of the 33912 (9"x12") Museum Paper Storage Envelopes or a few more 56-34608-1 Corrosion Intercept bags to supplement the kit if needed. In fact, most all the items are available for purchase here separately. Just use the 'reorder number' on the list above. This list is also included with your kit.
