Scottish artist Katie Paterson is creating an ongoing installation called “Margaret Atwood will be the first author to contribute work to “Future Library,” she won’t be telling anything about the content of her book, only telling the Guardian that she has “bought some special archival paper, which will not decay in its sealed box over 100 years.”
Future Library will be housed in a secure room in Oslo’s Deichmanske public library. “The room is to be lined with wood from the planted trees and will also contain a printing press, so people of the near future who might not have held a paper book will have a way to produce a physical copy of the texts contained within.”
