I'm sure Jason Scott over at
archive.org would be more than happy to archive it.

That's a good point Josh. I've been trying to find copies of UKUUG and
EUUG newsletters to add to the archive, along with the AUUG
newsletters.
So if you're on this list and outside of the US, now is the time to
speak up with anecotes etc. Oh, and if you have anything worth adding
to the Unix Archive, please let me know
Sheesh! Where to begin....
When I lived in Aus my wife and I were very close friends with John and
Marrion. When he passed away, Marrion asked me to clean up his office
at
UNSW and collect anything of importance. Suffice to say I collected an
awful lot of extremely important Unix memorabilia including copies of
his books and his first original copy with hand written editing and
signed by both Ken and Dennis. There's also the original Unix licenses
signed off by BWK. There is so much stuff I can't list it all here but
it's boxes (emphasing plural). When I left Aus I brought all this stuff
for safe keeping back to the UK. That was 1996. Some time ago, I think
at leat 15 years past I was in contact with someone from AUUG (grog may
recall) hoping that they would send to collect it all but nothing
happened. I also spoke to Armando about all this stuff he suggested a
few things but even USENIX group weren't interested. So here I am with
all this important stuff.....I would dearly love to hand it off.
However
I want some sort of guarantee that it would be housed somewhere safe
for
prosperity and not eventually ending up on eBay...if you know what I
mean.
As to AUUGN...well one of the boxes contains just about every copy of
the newsletter that was published since issue 1 through to the 1996
editions.
Warren please email me if you want to discuss further.
Cheers
Berny
