But as Charles pointed-out, some of the better materials seem not to be there and we have no way of knowing if all she had gathered will be placed there - or not [as well as the issue of the originals]. I have only one technical issue with the site, and that is the 'pagination' [if that is what it is called in cyberspace]. Would be nice to be able to specify / search for a document, look at it, and download it as a whole file, if desired. I imagine it is also a great place for the keepers of the secrets to watch in one place who is looking at what. That said and the caveats mentioned above, it is a great resource, and we all have Mary to thank for that.
