Yes it was Indiana University that was the host for many of the early lists.
They crashed --- just like their football team. I have to be nice since our
daughter is a graduate of the Kelly School of Business and our son-in-law a
graduate of the Medical School.

Seriously, I believe they still host a number of academic lists and access
to their library is quite significant. I was able to access it from home
when our son-in-law was living here.
