The Jubilee Time Capsule is an innovative online archive that aims to tell the people’s history of the last 60 years.
It’s a Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) initiative asking people from across the globe to share their memories of the last six decades and help to build this exciting history.
Like the Big Lunch, the Jubilee Time Capsule will form part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations next year and the best entries will be showcased in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen in 2012.
The Jubilee Time Capsule timeline runs from 6th February 1952 to 6th June 2012, commemorating the 60 years that make up The Queen’s reign and Headship of the Commonwealth. Those 60 years equate to roughly 22,000 days and the RCS want to fill each day with a memory.
So far people have entered memories about weddings, school days, natural disasters, community issues and national days to name a few. The RCS is now calling on Big Lunchers to share their memories with the Jubilee Time Capsule.
The Jubilee Time Capsule is about sharing stories that are important to you, your family and community. Similarly the Big Lunch is about bringing family, neighbours and communities together. This year the Big Lunch took place on Sunday 5th June and the Jubilee Time Capsule wants to know how your community took part.
Whether it was a garden party, a street party, or you held your Big Lunch in the community hall, why not share memories of your day with the Jubilee Time Capsule and help to build a Big Lunch collection?
Photos, video, audio and text can all be used to help tell your story. All you need to do is to visit www.jubileetimecapsule.org, sign up and start contributing, just remember to tag your contribution with ‘Big Lunch’.
Share your Big Lunch story and take part in building this exciting people’s history!
