At the recent request of a member, I'd like to outline the ways that DCHAS-L subscribers can access the archives of the e-mail list. There are two options:

1. There is a publicly accessible version of the archives hosted by ilpi.com at
http://www.ilpi.com/dchas/

These is the location that public search engines such as google use to index the list discussions. This page includes an internal search function as well as being organized by year and subject line for browsing purposes. This system is pretty convenient approach to find a topic that you remember being discussed on the list, particularly if you have the correct keyword in mind as you search. The caveat for this page is that it requires manual intervention by the web site's staff to be updated, so it is usually a week or two behind the most recent list traffic. For example, the latest postings available today at the site are from April 22. The listing is reliably updated in that time frame.

2. The LISTSERV program at Princeton that manages the list functions has an always up-to-date archive of the list traffic available at
http://lists.princeton.edu
The challenge that this web site presents is that you need to register your e-mail address on the list to get a password to access the archives. This is free and now that most web browsers manage web passwords seamlessly, not a major concern. You can set up your password at
https://lists.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/wa?GETPW1

The DCHAS-L homepage at Princeton includes a weekly breakdown of the archives as well as a search engine that offers a few more options than the one at ilpi.com does. The weekly breakdown of list traffic that this server uses is somewhat less convenient for easy browsing of the traffic subject lines.

If you would like any help with either option, let me know and I'll be glad to help you find what you are looking for.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
