Abstract
The NIC was the hub of information exchange on the early Internet. This anecdotal article describes what and how information was exchanged back then and describes the dynamic collaboration that set the tone for how business was carried out on the Internet. It also describes what happened to the NIC archives and how they were preserved for posterity.
