+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label archives</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Repositories of TeX material</h3>
+<p>To aid the archiving and retrieval of of TeX-related files, a
+TUG working group developed the Comprehensive TeX Archive
+Network (CTAN). Each CTAN site has identical material,
+and maintains authoritative versions of its material. These
+collections are extensive; in particular, almost everything mentioned
+in this FAQ
+is archived at the CTAN sites (see the lists of software at the
+end of each answer).
+<p>The CTAN sites are currently \FTP{dante.ctan.org} (Germany),
+\FTP{cam.ctan.org} (UK) and \FTP{tug.ctan.org} (USA).
+The organisation of TeX files on all
+CTAN sites is identical and starts at
+<i>tex-archive/</i>. Each CTAN node may also be accessed via
+the Web at URLs <a href="http://www.dante.de/tex-archive">http://www.dante.de/tex-archive</a>,
+<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive">http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive</a> and
+<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive</a> respectively, but not all
+CTAN mirrors are Web-accessible.
+As a matter of course, to reduce network load,
+please use the CTAN site
+or mirror closest to you. A complete and current list of CTAN sites
+and known mirrors is available as file <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites">CTAN.sites</a> on the
+archives themselves.
+<p>For details of how to find files at CTAN sites, see
+"<a href="FAQ-findfiles.html">finding (La)TeX files</a>".
+<p>The TeX user who has no access to any sort of
+network may buy a copy of the archive as part of the
+<a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Live distribution</a>.
