Pete Johnson in the U.K. sent a message to the list asking about
the possibility of putting up a list archive.  Providing an archive
seemed to me the most logical of added resources for this list,
since it is designed for archivists.  (Frankly, it seemed ironic
that an archivists list did *not* have an archive itself.)

Last week I learned that the unit that supports electronic lists
here at LC was offering to mount archives for any lists that
wanted them.  Evidently they have some new software that makes
this easier than it was before.  I couldn't understand why archives
weren't mounted for all lists automatically, but put in the
names of the two I support.  I am hoping to hear back soon that
the archive is up and will notify all subscribers via a message
to the list when it is.
