I have been asked to move a list currently being served on listserv to Mailman. How do a transfer the subscriber list over?
That's largely going to depend on Listserv.
How do I transfer the archives?
I don't know how Listserv stores their archives. Mailman uses 7th edition "mbox" format files, which can be imported using the "arch" tool. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp> and <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp>.
I guess I need to know the format of these things and what, if anything, needs to be done to make them work in the new environment.
I don't know that anyone has written a step-by-step guide to importing Listserv mailing lists. If you find or create such a thing, please let us know.
In the meanwhile, I recommend that you read the documentation at <http://www.list.org/docs.html> for List Managers and Site Administrators, check the searchable FAQ Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py>, and search the archives of the mailman-users mailing list as shown at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.018.htp>.
