1. What sources have copies of charters and RFDs for newsgroups in the
'alt.' hierarchy? The charter is more important to me than the RFD.

There's no such thing for alt.* groups. You may be able to find some original intent for the groups in their archived control messages at:
https://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/alt
but frequently that's only the newsgroups line, and in some cases the
groups were created so long ago that not even that is archived.
alt.* is an unmanaged hierarchy in which anyone historically can create a newsgroup, with no requirements for charters, RFDs, or anything of the
sort.
1. Are there any non-control file descriptions or equivalent blurbs
stored _anywhwere_ for 'alt.' hierarchies?
2. Do any NNTP servers have the control files archived? I've never run a
NNTP server so this is a black box to me.

Be careful what you say Russ, comments like that could make Kerman to self >harm himself.
There is almost certainly an NNTP server out there with a very long expire >for control, but I'm afraid I'm not the person who knows which one or how
to access it.
