 The History of the Usenet Oldnews Archive

  The Oldnews Usenet News Archive was originally compiled on 144
  nine-track mag tapes by Henry Spencer, [1][email protected], at
  the University of Toronto, Department of Zoology. Those tapes were
  borrowed by David Wiseman, [2][email protected] of the University of
  Western Ontario's Computer Science Department in late 1991.

  In June of 1992, Bruce Jones traveled to UWO and spent the better part
  of two weeks and the patience of many UWO folks, scraping the bits off
  those tapes and getting the files onto disk.

   Special Notes of Thanks

  To Henry Spencer, for having the forsight to archive Usenet in the
  first place, and for graciously making his tapes available to David
  Wiseman and myself.

  To David and Cheryl Wiseman, for their hospitality during the two
  weeks of my stay in London.

  To Lance Bailey for the use of his VAX, his 9-track drive, and a 300mb
  drive that looked, sounded, and danced like an out-of-balance washing
  machine, but held the bits just fine.
