In reality I'm just the facilitator, collecting the stuff that you send me and keeping the mailing list going. I think we've captured nearly all we can of the 1970s Unix in terms of software. After that it becomes commercial, but I am building up the "Hidden Unix" archive to hold that. Just wish I could open that up ... What we haven't done a good job yet is to collect other things: photos, stories, anecdotes, scanned ephemera. Photos & scanned things: I'm very happy to collect these, but does anybody know of an existing place that accepts (and makes available online) photos and scanned ephemera? They are a bit out of scope for bitsavers as far as I can tell, but I'm happy to be corrected. Al? Other comments here? Stories & anecdotes: definitely type them in & e-mail them in and/or e-mail them to me if you want me just to preserve them. There is the Unix wiki I started here: https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=start, but maybe there is already a better place. Gunkies? Interviews: Sometimes it's easier to glean stories & knowledge with interviews. I've never tried this but perhaps it's time. Who is up to have an audio interview? I'll worry about the technical details eventually, but is there interest? All of the above would slot in with the upcoming 50th anniversary. If you do have photos, bits of paper, stories to tell etc., then let's try to preserve them so that they are not lost. Cheers all, Warren
