FAQ?: Archive sites?

Hi,

I've managed to skim scores of past postings (without success) so
I'll just have to ask.

Can anybody direct me to an archive site (ftp) where ascii art
is stored?

Thanks!

  Subject Line: Add me to the Ascii-art of the day list

                ASCII Art listserv list
      -> Email: lis...@ukcc.uky.edu and in the body of the letter
       Message: sub asciiart

   If you need more technical info about ASCII art, get Jorn's file called
'asciitech.aa' in Jorn's 'ascii-art' folder at his FTP site.  His site also
has many files of ASCII art.

   Chris and Steve's sites have Steve Sullivan's many files of ASCII art
called Small ASCII Pics.  They are available separately, or all together in a
tar.Z file.  Don't miss 'em.

   Jorn and Chris' FTP sites also have the big Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archives.
The Scarecrow's archives contain hundreds of pieces of art, special sections
on sig and plan art, graphics form BBS login and server screens, fonts, GIF
conversions, and more.

   These sites also have a file called the Most Often Requested Edition.  It
contains the pics that people request the most on the group.  It has pics for
wishing friends a happy birthday, Star Trek, flowers, dragons, hearts, cows,
Winnie the Pooh, etc.

   You'll also find the Scarecrow's separate files of humor, sigs, GIFs,
fonts, BBS art, etc. (which are listed in the answer to the next question).
