I recently came across two things on the Internet Archive that I thought might interest other folks that are local to the area. The first was brought to my attention by streamer BogusMeatFactory. It’s a complete backup of the University of Michigan Atari Archive. Bogus originally sent it to me because it might have contained info on the MUD I keep searching for, HeroMUD. It does not, but it’s still a fascinating snapshot of what the university had for Atari related stuff.

The second thing is an archive of the Michigan Atari Computer Enthusiasts Journal. I’ve only looked at a little bit of it so far but it’s already a fascinating snapshot of a community in a specific region. There’s so many ads for local businesses too. I’m really hoping to come across MUD info in here. This looks like it eventually merged into the Michigan Atari Magazine, which also has at least a partial archive uploaded by Kay Savetz, writer and host of the great Eaten by a Grue podcast.
