If I won the lottery, I would donate to one or more major repositories to digitalize as much of their collections as possible. As it is, an enormous amount of material is available online, but much--particularly diaries, letters and memoirs--remains to be published. I haven't won the lottery, but I'm doing my bit. Here is a letter from Theophilas Daniel of the 12th Virginia Infantry's Company F to his wife, April 3, 1862, from my very modest private collection.
