Back in the carefree spring of 1993, I started a then very manageable project of organizing and categorizing veterinary medical information available on the Internet. I had already been hosting a veterinary electronic bulletin board system now at AALAS since 1985. In any case, finding all the veterinary mailing lists, FTP, Telnet, and Gopher sites was not that hard to do...simply because not too many were around Most were in obscure places not even being maintained by any organization, but instead were thrown together willynilly by enthusiastic computer administrators. When I finished my list of veterinary sites, I still thought it was disappointingly small. So I decided to include the object of veterinary practice, animals, too. A little more ambitious, but still manageable in the good old days. The result was several renditions of a text file that I called the Electronic Zoo, a nice term for the collection it seemed to be describing.
