Hey Anita!

I was thinking about the history of the list, so I looked to find out what
message #00001 was in the archive:

Date:         Tue, 19 Apr 1994 18:47:04 -0600
From:         "CHESTER P. BATEMAN" <[log in to unmask]>

This note is a request for information about people working with GIS and
historic period archaeological problems.  Was Chester's post the first post
to HISTARCH or did many of the messages not get archived?  I suspect you'd
all been chatting for a bit before the archive log started, because
Chester's post seems to appear in the middle of discussion rather than the
pioneering message I was expecting...

Just wondering,
Tim
