# Time capsule guides

> Practical guides to making a time capsule, physical or digital, written to be useful whether or not you ever use ours.

Each guide answers one question in full: which container survives, what to ask a six-year-old, how to record a grandparent on a phone.

- [How to Make a Time Capsule](https://time-capsule.io/guides/how-to-make-a-time-capsule.md) — Which containers survive, what to put in and what to leave out, where to keep it, and how to make sure someone actually opens it — following the guidance conservators publish.
- [Time Capsule Questions for Every Age](https://time-capsule.io/guides/time-capsule-questions.md) — Question lists for young children, teenagers, couples, a class, a family and yourself — and how to ask them so the answers are worth opening.
- [Questions to Ask Your Grandparents](https://time-capsule.io/guides/questions-to-ask-your-grandparents.md) — Fifty questions by theme, how to record the conversation on a phone so it is worth keeping, and where to put the file so the family still has it in twenty years.
