Here's an article about a time capsule vault crypt built around 1940 in a basement room in Oglethorpe University in Georgia. Apparently it is suppost to be a Crypt of Civilization to be opened around 8113 AD. The head of the university at the time didn't want future generations to have to guess about the current civilization or some such. They put togather a bunch of microfilm (which had just been created) of important books and other information plus whatever other cultural items they could stuff into the size of the vault.
