Does anyone have or know of an archive of old mod.sources (predecessor
of comp.sources.unix) posts? I know googlegroups has it, but that only
means nothing since it's effectively inaccessible there.

Maybe https://archive.org/details/usenet-mod . It includes
mod.sources.mbox.zip
(https://archive.org/download/usenet-mod/mod.sources.mbox.zip).
There's also mod.sources.doc.mbox.zip
(https://archive.org/download/usenet-mod/mod.sources.doc.mbox.zip) in that
usenet-mod archive.
Usenet-mod is just one of MANY usenet archives to be found in Usenet
Historical Collection (https://archive.org/details/usenethistorical). There
are a lot more usenet archives to be found in collection Usenet Archive
(https://archive.org/details/usenet). And you can find some other usenet
archives and many non-usenet archives in Data Collection
(https://archive.org/details/data).

Thanks, didn't think of that. I've found things in there before.
That takes us back into 1984. The net.* hierarchy is also in the same
collection, and its net.sources mbox goes back to ~1982.
Anyone know of an archive that has stuff older than 1982?

How much is older than that? I didn't think uucp got going until V7
was released outside of AT&T in 1980 or 81... I'm sure someone
will correct my notions though :)

If memory serves (hahahalolrofl...) the origins of usenet go back to at
least 1980. (Ignoring the Plato history.)
What set this off was a desire to look at and maybe fiddle with the old
Notes package by Ray Essick and Rob Kolstad.

I believe the utzoo Wiseman archive goes back to 1981. I don't know of
any that go farther back.
