This collection spans two boxes, one an archival box and the other the original metal box from the time capusle behind the cornerstone. The items of this collection were placed in the time capsule in 1914, selected as important reflections of the history of the Bethel and the Swedish Baptists in America. These include newspapers, church bulletins, written histories, yearbooks, and a Swedish Bible.

Box 2, the original cornerstone box, contains items that showed signes of mold growth and were not placed in Box 1 with the other materials.
