I object to the government providing a service to a business (the writer and the publisher both) for free. There ought to be a yearly fee for that service. I'm not talking huge amounts here, just the cost of a latte each year. If it's not worth $5 to the rights holder they must not value it much. For things like diaries that someone doesn't want published at all keep it private like your bank statements. That's what safety deposit boxes are for. If someone gets a hold of it don't worry about copyright infringement charge them with burglary and breaking and entering. Or burn it.
