- The New York Historical Society plans to seal a new time capsule this week that is more reflective of our current pop culture. Inside the capsule, high school students who have spent the summer interning at the Historical Society will each contribute one item. There will be an issue of the New York Times and magazines, an iPhone and Kindle, metro cards and subway maintenance signs. Others added a ticket from Lady Gaga’s final performance at Roseland Ballroom, the historical concert venue that shuttered its doors that same night, and a shirt that reads “Some dudes marry dudes, get over it,” signifying the major advances made in the rights of same-sex couples.
