Ipswich Global Information Centre Time Capsule (Ipswich Library), 1998-2023
Description
History
The stainless steel capsule was placed in the front wall of the Barry Jones Auditorium behind a plaque, the capsule was 34cm x 57cm x 30cm.
The ceremony for the sealing of the time capsule was performed by Mayor John Nugent and Councillor Joanie Woods was followed by a morning tea. The ceremony was held on 18 May 1998, at 10am.
The Time Capsule was scheduled to be re-opened 18 May 2023; however, due to Council relocating from South Street to Nicholas Street, the contents of the capsule were removed from the Barry Jones Auditorium in October 2021.
