Ian --

I'm looking. But two quick thoughts: it looks to me as though it works on live lists -- which, if so, would require us to keep the list in its current LISTSERV home, where the LISTSERV search software works fine; and I'm not clear whether GMANE's creator didn't actually abandon it a couple of years ago (<https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2016/07/28/the-end-of-gmane/>).

I wonder whether GMANE would work. - Ian

Thanks, Pete.

It would be meant to be open; it's seen as a kind of historical resource.

I hadn't thought of that; I'd assumed that if we had server space ourselves it would be safer. But I'll look. What I'd had in mind was a search facility that would (for instance) let someone follow a thread, the way the current LISTSERV archive software does.

The alternative I'd thought of was to ask the University of Toronto if they'd do that -- but part of the problem I can see is that it would depend on a changing IT staff there to keep saving the space -- and maintaining LISTSERV.

One question that needs to be answered up front is who would have access to the archives after the move?

If only existing subscribers (even though the list is closed) then you would need to figure out how to do access control.

If public, I think it would be easy to store the notebooks in Google Drive:
