The steel capsule measures 3' x 14." It holds more than 200 items along with dozens of 35mm slides. Although several items have been distributed by City staff, most have come from community members or groups, churches and businesses.

Some of the more unusual items include essays written by school children; a vial of water from the Stockton Channel; a Duraflame log; an 1800's California Penal Code book (1897); a millennium teddy bear; and a Sally Savewater video. A letter from City of Stockton employees is also included.

The capsule honors the City's 150th birthday (incorporation date), which is July 23, 2000.
