Is there any history maintained of the address assignments? I've been thinking it would be interesting if I could pick up the date of my first use back around 1990 in Colorado.

No, there's no history kept except I have some emails going back to the 80's. Your callsign appears in one from March of 1991 as an existing allocation, but there's no more exact date. - Brian

Greetings, I have ALL of my IP Address/Hostname requests (with all contact information for those end users) going back to at least March of 1998 and probably even YEARS further back than that (saved on a different hard disk), from when I was the AMPRnet IP Address Coordinator for 44.102/16 in the state of Michigan.
I also have a copy of each and every ENCAP.TXT file saved from the 1st of the every month, also going back to at least March 1998 and probably for years further back that that.
Doesn't *EVERY* IP Coordinator have good archival records of their activities, and that of their 'customers' for which they serve? Just poking a little fun here... :)
--- Jay Nugent WB8TKL Michigan IP Address Coordinator back on the late 80's and again in the mid-90's thru 2012 or so. Then the job got mysteriously reassigned without my knowledge. Go figure?

Doesn't everybody keep a personal subversion/git archive for home use for things like this?
I don't think git or subversion existed back then but my email records to/from my 'customers' goes back to December, 1996. :)
I kept a list of my allocations as I went along but would have to search email to find the email addresses of the users. I have no idea who is still active and they don't exist in the portal data. I probably should have maintained a spreadsheet. :)

Thank you Brian. I think my first exposure was a bit earlier than that but it's hard to remember for sure.
