This probably goes without saying but Tiziana Terranova wrote a highly influential piece on Free Labor and AOL content moderators serve as the exemplary case.

I recall at the HOPE conference a few years back Jason Scott saying he is collecting AoL CDs.

All,
I've had limited locating these on my own, so I wonder if anyone has any suggestions: Are there archives (official or community-based) of documents related to America Online, especially during its mid-1990s boom? I'm especially interested in two things: A) Guides/Community Leaders' day-to-day practices around policing offensive content and B) AOL's relationship to independent community-oriented content providers (including compensation rates, contracts, etc.).
Some documentation of Guide practices and policies exists, but there's almost nothing about the latter - it's my suspicion most users didn't even know some forums were run by independent contractors.
Thanks in advance, Avery Dame-Griff
