Restoring this list's history: Do you have OCLUG list messages saved?

As part of an upgrade of the OCLUG list software underway, I am trying to recover and restore the complete list archives to restore our recorded history. This list has been operating for 23 years, based on the old messages I have.

At first glance I have ~60K OCLUG list messages saved, starting March 1998. It looked like the list was already underway then and I am missing some even earlier messages though.

Do you have a compilation of list messages, including any older than 1998?

I would like to build archives from several sources to minimize a risk of gaps in any one source, including mine. If you have old list messages please email me and let me know in general what you have.

I will merge multiply-sourced messages I receive into one unduplicated archive. I'll also strip out mail headers, to the bare minimum needed for the archives (e.g. Date, Subject). So don't worry about your delivery address or internal mail routing in your headers. I'll need to clean up my own mail headers so will clean all messages, once compiled and deduped.

Here are a few of the earliest list messages I found in my files so far:
