Henry Spencer

Space
Spencer is a founding member of the Canadian Space Society and has served on its Board of Directors several times since 1984. He also developed a 4 point font used by entomologists in labeling pinned insect specimens. Circa 1993 Spencer donated a second version of his RE library to 4.

His records from that period were eventually acquired by Google to provide an archive of Usenet in the 1980s. Later in 1981 Spencer acquired a Usenet feed from Duke University and brought "utzoo" online; the earliest public archives of Usenet date from May 1981 as a result. He is coauthor with David Lawrence of the book Managing Usenet.
