Someone submitted a request for the court records from the 1979 lawsuit between Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax/TSR over royalties on the original publication of D&D. And they got back 854 pages of documents

I find these primary source documents fascinating. This includes an extremely early draft of the D&D rules (early enough that your attributes are Strength, Intelligence, Cunning, Health, Appearance and Gold) and some handwritten revision notes, among many other things.
