Usually, you send a message to "listserv@.....(some domain)" and in the body put something like "subscribe listname". There may be a place in the body for your name - before or after the list name. Also, usually, there is no subject.

For those of you that have access to the web, there is a site that searches for lists. It has a search engine that allows you to search by subject. Once the list is found it gives you basic information about the list (if supplied by the list) and how to join, etc. There is a growing list for museums. The web site address is http://www.liszt.com/
