Have you taken pictures of each page, so a historian can take a look at those descriptions? It could be that something is in there which is not yet known. You can beforehand remove personal stuff you don't want others to read.

I don't keep a diary. I try very hard not to be noticed. (Since some time, I'm even using different user names on different forums.) I wouldn't write anything down that I'd not tell you myself. Within a few days you'll know everything there is to know about me because I won't tell you anything else.
