I'm looking for a list of places where I can find archives of newsgroups.
Does such a list exist? Are there such archives around somewhere?
Thanks,
Allen Matheson

ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/users/claird/news.lists/newsgroup_archives.html
has a list of known newsgroup archives. If you find more, please
send email to Cameron Laird <cla...@neosoft.com>.
If you don't have either ftp or some web browser (lynx, mosaic, slipknot...)
then you can send email to a url-by email service.
I think
list...@www0.cern.ch works, if you say
send ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/users/claird/news.lists/newsgroup_archives.html

1. Thanks to Jim for his help publicizing and improving this index.
2. ftp.neosoft.com had been cut off from the Internet for almost
a complete week. It's back now (and on a relatively fast con-
nection, incidentally--response is typically much better than
with netcom or uu.net or some other familiar names), and I
know of no reason to expect another interruption. I apologize
to those who've tried to access the index during the last week;
I sure know what an annoyance unreachable URLs are.
3. I'm looking for these kinds of help with newsgroup_archives.html:
a. content: corrections, updates, elaborations, additions.
I receive about one a day, and I typically verify the
information and update the index within twenty minutes
of reading my mail.
b. delivery mechanisms: mirror sites, suggestions for better
(faster, more reliable, ?) FTP space, formatting ideas.
