Hi Will, This would be a diary written by a prisoner while in Andersonville or after he left? What is his name? Do I understand that it covers the time he was, perhaps, still IN Andersonville and that time would be 1864? I believe they would accept this in their collection at Andersonville. My cousin contributed a book to Andersonville just a few days ago that he had written and published based on a journal he had in his possession. So it was not the original, but was a book written using transcribed portions of the original. Do you wish to contribute the original? Or do you want someone to transcribe the original and then contribute the copy? Or do you want to have a copy published? I could find out some information on those processes from my cousin, if you like. He is a retired Presbyterian minister in his 60's who majored in education in college, so he is quite knowledgeable on editing or publishing books. However, if you just want someone to transcribe the original into a copy, I am qualified to do that. I was a transcriptionist for many years and since my great-grandfather was in Andersonville during that time frame, it would be very interesting to me as a project. Would you be willing to trust it out of your possession long enough for me to type it up? I'm a 57 year old living in Florida and I would be honored to do it for you. Let me know what it is you want done and I'll see what I can find out. If you have a copy prepared, at least you would be able to provide copies to any source of your choosing simply by printing up another copy. Perhaps someone else has something different to offer. I agree with you. Something like that should be made available to Civil War researchers. Another way to go would be to have it typed up and put on a webpage for all to read.
