TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Another interesting, and potentially useful archive (although not in this case) is the Usenet archive at Google. Although it's not complete, it's still covers a lot. They've created an interesting Usenet timeline at:

> The web is not a body of public record. It is not an archive.
> So how to reference once-published material? I think a new type of historian - the web historian - will begin taking regular snapshots of the web as a matter of public record. This is already happening at the above-mentioned site.
