*Good Practices for Acquiring  Email Archives : A community guide*

Returning to the initial topic of *archiving email lists*, for good and
ill, a post in the Galleries/Libraries/Archives/Museums professional
Fediverse social platform (GlammR.us a cute retronym!) somehow resurfaced

report.

Predictably, Digital Archivists have already been studying how to preserve
email.
