<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Dear Internet History List: <div><br></div><div>Greetings. I am trying to learn more about the original mailing lists on ARPANET, particularly sf-lovers (sfl@sri-csl) and human-nets, for a book on science fiction. Although I see some information about these lists when they were forwarded to Usenet, there earlier lists on ARPANET that predate Usenet by a few years (perhaps as early as 1975). </div><div><br></div><div>I do not know what to expect from this query, but I would appreciate any and all leads. I am hopeful that somewhere in the world there is a complete archive, but that of course would be too good to be true. If anyone have memories of this list, or can put me into contact with someone who does, please let me know. I would also appreciate anyone who can provide me with citations to research about this topic, as my search has turned up very little. </div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Chris Leslie</div><br><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">Christopher S.
