- The archive lists 174 areas across three networks and includes a search for Hebrew and English text.
Field notes
The archive divides its holdings among three networks, each with a distinct date range and message total, then breaks the material into named discussion areas such as science, politics, humor and programming. Its People section lists 1,861 names and the BBSes section points to the systems and their operators. The site presents UltiNET’s volunteer governance—including a constitution, elections and votes—as part of the history, not merely as background to the messages.
