About
Search more than 1,000,000,000 messages posted in Usenet Newsgroups provided by Google Groups.
Newsgroups have been around since the early times of the internet and provide a forum for discussion on countless topics. Whilst things have moved on from Usenet to the web and then to social media and apps, newsgroups were once the main platform for discussion. As such they have messages dating back some time and are a resource for uncovering a lot of information from the past.
In the past privacy was not considered in the same way it is today. People would post personal phone numbers, details and more.
Google Groups provides an archive of Usenet postings in a searchable format.
