Listserv Archives
All messages to the lists are archived. Use the following links to reach the Archives:
You may need to search all three to find your archived messages. The first time you access any of the archives you will be asked for a password. This is not the same password used to access reserved areas of the URMIA web. For the archives, each person must set their own password. One of the options you'll see is to get a new password. If you don't have a password yet, click on that and follow the instructions. If you forget your password, choose "Join or leave the list" from the first menu and you'll see a logon option. Click on that and you're back at the screen where you can set a new password. Setting a new password (i.e., overwriting the one you forgot) is the same process as setting one for the first time.
