Dear Simon,
this sounds like a remarkable source! May we ask if you can leave a copy
for the Archive of Digital Art (ADA) ?
Many regards,
Oliver

I have Rhizome posts going back to April 6, 1996 and Raw to October 3,
1999. Other lists I have posts for from the 1990's include A-Life,
artnetweb, ASCII, Avatars, Consciousness Reframed, CU-SeeMe, DigiDance,
DXR, Fine Art Forum, Infowar, ISEA-Forum, NetArtTrade, Nettime, Shock of
the View, Thingist, Voti (which has a new book out documenting that
discussion) and WebWalker. These are far from complete records, some are
quite patchy - most are from extinct mail clients but I have simple text
files of the posts. I'm happy to put them into a repository of some kind
(doubt I want to go back through them though).
best
Simon

Rhizome archives, from before it was called 'raw' (1997-2001). In fact,
all of the Rhizome mailing list archives seem to have disappeared from
their website. People who have (parts of) these could maybe be persuaded
to share them.

Baumgärtel's first book on net.art is an interview with Rena Tangens and
Padeluun, for example. They ran a 'mailbox' named 'Bionic'. It would
also be great to have the Artex 'list' content in there, run by Robert
Adrian.
