If the diary was written by a Virginian, any number of places would want it: Library of Virginia, Virginia Historical Society, maybe even the World War II Memorial in Bedford.

Randy,
I don't know what I was thinking. The New World War II museum in New
Orleans would love to preserve that diary.

Subject: WWII History
> I have a friend at Virginia Beach who has her father's diary from WWII and
believes it should be preserved and published. He was an officer in the
Army Air Corps, captured with the fall of Bataan and Corregidor, and spent
the rest of his life as a POW. He was the senior officer in camp. He died,
but his fellow POWs brought the diary back.

> As you may guess the pages are getting old and brittle, so if anything is
to be done with the diary, it probably should be done in the next few years.

> Is there any organization in Virginia, the U.S. Army, or anyplace else who
is interested in gathering such documents, with an eye toward preserving
and/or printing them?
