The John Lennon Time Capsule Project will see the singer's post-Beatles recordings preserved until 2040.
Fans are being invited to send birthday wishes, commentary, performances and thoughts on the star's legacy in the months leading up to his birthday on October 9.
Lennon's widow Yoko Ono said: "I am delighted to support this effort to help share John's music and messages of peace and love with the children of today and tomorrow.
"I know that John's work, life and dreams will help inspire them to bring a better world for everyone. Children Power!"
The time capsule will be kept at Ohio's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum until it is opened on Lennon's 100th birthday.
