Yes, a friend of mine who keeps every message he has ever received was
able to reinstate the entire archives of a list that had lost theirs
for a reason I can't remember.
Hort.net archives some lists. I'm not sure how they decide which
ones to include, but I think I read somewhere that the ones chosen are
favourites of their employees. Of the 23 active gardening lists it
archives, 5 are about iris. There is also one on community gardens
and one on vegetables. The archives are searchable, and photos are
kept as well, which is unusual.
They also keep archives of 9 inactive lists, including one on school
gardens and square foot gardening.
They have a database of seed germination information, and lots of
plant photos.
The site is managed by Mallorn Computing Horticultural Software
Solutions.
I don't know whether they are open to archiving any other list. It
could be good to have a backup.
