A few weeks ago, in a fit of nostalgia, I decided to

a personal copy of the various Usenet source groups as still available
at places like
gatekeeper.dec.com and
ftp.uu.net. The result is
a collection of six newsgroups, net.sources, and then
comp.sources.{games,misc,x,unix,reviewed}.
Consider giving a copy to Google. Back in August 2000 they were
looking for old Usenet news archive CDs such as those from Sterling
Software, pre-dating 1995. At the time, I pointed a few leads to and
exchanged a few messages with Michael Schmitt <michael(a)google.com>.
This applies to anyone with old backup tapes of Usenet news, of course.
