Numerous items were placed in a time capsule sealed into a pedestal on the east side of the south stairs up to the main State Capitol Building in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 4, 2001. The plaque for the capsule can be seen on the face of the structure supporting the railing on the right side of the stairs. This is just above where the stairs decrease in width. This capsule is to be opened on the first legislative session day of the year 2100. Records of the contents include a listing of recipients of the book "Keepers of the Flame: Millennial Letters from Utah's Leaders"; correspondence on gathering the documents included in the time capsule; correspondence, speeches and news coverage in conjunction with placing the capsule in the south staircase of the state capitol building on Leavitt's inauguration on statehood day 4 January 2001; copies of letters included in the time capsule; and an ashwood box from uproooted trees on the capitol lawn following the tornado of 1999 which encases a copy of the book "Keepers of the Flame: Millennial Letters from Utah's Leaders."
