</color>I have been asked about accessing the B-Greek Archives; since
this question comes up from time to time and there is some confusion
owing to the fact that there are two separate archives, and owing also
to the fact that there are two lacunae or gaps in the existing
archives. About these lacunae I should say that the archives for those
time periods are not lost--they simply have not been incorporated into
the web archives yet; a fair amount of work is involved in combining
the message files into a format that can be catalogued and searched
readily with a search engine; the software is available to do this
work, but it IS time-consuming, and all of us who are involved in
administration of the list do it in time left-over from our regular
work. So: some day the archives will be completed, and perhaps
incorporated into a single corpus that is more easily searchable, but
that lies in an indefinite and not immediately foreseeable future. At
any rate, here's a listing of what we have available and how to get to
each item. I've listed each item in a format that will allow mail
programs (such as Eudora, or web-browser mail programs) so-equipped to
click on URLs and go directly in their web-browsers to the archive for
which they are looking.
Let me note some caveats which should, but may not be, obvious:
(1) You'll have to know where the thread you're looking for is, i.e.,
when it took place.
(2) There are two separate sites:
(a) for archives from the years that the list was located at
majordomo@virginia.edu, the essential URL is:
http://metalab.unc.edu/bgreek/archives/
(b) archives since the list was relocated at our present site in
Chapel Hill, NC are housed at the main web site of the mailing list, at
the URL:
http://franklin.oit.unc.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=b-greek&text_mode=0
(3) If you don't know whether a topic has been dealt with or when, you
can do a search at either set of archives, but when you do, take into
consideration that subject-headers vary considerably and that Biblical
book names have been spelled and abbreviated in quite a variety of
ways.
Here's the complete listing of dates and URLs:
