A mailing list archive is a collection of past messages from one or more electronic mailing lists. Such archives often include searching and indexing functionality.

Many (perhaps most) archives are directly associated with the mailing list, but some organizations like Gmane collect archives from multiple mailing lists hosted at different organizations - thus, one message sent to one popular mailing list can end up in many different archives.

Some popular free software programs for collecting mailing list archives are Hypermail and MHonArc.
