The easy way, if you have access to the world wide web, is to go to
     http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/museum-l.html, where you can
     search by keyword, subject line, author, and/or date.



     For those people without web access, the archive is still accessible
     using commands sent via email, the easiest of which is

     SEARCH 'InsertKeywordBetweenSingleQuotes' in MUSEUM-L

     You get a list of items (articles) that match your request and you can
     retrieve them by then sending the

     GETPOST MUSEUM-L ItemNumber

     command.

     Now, time to quote from the Listserv manual (I run another list, so I
     happen to have the document here and am actually working on this EXACT
     subject for my list's FAQ)

         It is possible to add further parameters to your search in order
         to narrow it.  You can limit a search by date with a "since. . . "
         predicate.  Likewise, you can limit by sender and/or by the
         subject line with a "where . . ." predicate.  For instance:

         Search 'Digest=' in LSTOWN-L since 94/01/01
         Search 'Digest=' in LSTOWN-L where sender contains 'Thomas'
         Search * in LSTOWN-L where sender is ERIC@SEARN
         Search * in LSTOWN-L since 94/01/01 where subject contains
         'Digest='

         are all valid search commands that will (hopefully) dramatically
         reduce the number of index or print entries returned to you.

     note that DATES may be in Year/Month/Day order!

     Hope this helps!
