dMarie Time Capsule: Enables users to create printable "Time Capsules" for any date in history from 1800 to 2001, although "data for the years 1800 - 1875 is probably spotty."
From the site:
To begin, enter a date in the box above and click either:
Quick Page - this button will automatically generate a Time Capsule page for you. - OR -
Advanced Page - this button will lead you through a 'wizard' that allows you to select specific headlines, birthdays, songs, TV shows, toys, and books for the selected date. You can edit the information, or even add your own information to the final page!
When you're through, you'll be presented with your own customized page that includes all the information you've chosen, plus typical consumer prices from that year, Academy Award winners that year, etc.
We currently have data online for the years 1800 through 2002, although data for the years 1800 - 1875 is probably spotty. The latest headlines for 2003 may not yet be available, so you might need to type in your own.
If you're reaching this via a direct link somewhere, be sure to visit our home page at http://dMarie.com, containing over 20,000 online scrapbook layouts, discussion boards, chat rooms, poetry database, page toppers database, and more!
Enjoy!
