National XC Venues

[rick]

Where would I find a link to the venues of the National XC Championships over the last 40n years or so. I've been to the ECCA site and it only goes back as far as 2002.
I thought the old ECCU site had a list of venues going back to the 1st Championship but I haven't had any luck finding it.
Thanks in advance.
