Daily Journal
Wouk has kept a personal diary since 1937. On September 10, 2008, Wouk formally presented the Library of Congress with his journals, which number more than 100 volumes as of 2012, in a ceremony which honored him with the first Library of Congress Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Writing of Fiction.
Wouk often refers to his journals to check dates and facts in his writing, and he was hesitant to let the originals out of his personal possession. A solution was arrived at: a scanning service bureau was selected to scan the entire set of volumes into digital formats.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“To have some account of my thoughts, manners, acquaintance and actions, when the hour arrives in which time is more nimble than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a journal: a journal in which I must confess my every thought, must open my whole heart!”
