Jason Scott runs textfiles.com, an impressive attempt to collect and preserve the electronic bulletin boards that once occupied the mediaspace now filled by e-mail lists and newsgroups. He's also guest-blogging at bOING bOING, where he's just posted an enjoyable assortment of links to other online archives, from the Library of Congress' American Memory site to a collection of old phone phreak zines. Worth a gander.

Worth a gander
I love it. I use the same word. I was at work one day and yelled to a friend on the other side of the area to "come here and take a gander at this". well two others looked at me and said "what the heck is gander?" They never heard it being used in Kansas. My friend was southern like me. I love to hear that word..I know, I'm strange.
Gunner, been to Highbury?
