Wow, there's a lot of good stuff here James! I would definitely have an interest in
doing some preservation, although I'm holding off on taking on new work at least
until March, I'm going to be in the midst of a move here soon and don't want
something priceless getting lost in the mail.
Just to speak to my interest, absolutely anything AT&T of course, so the DWB 2.0 comb
bound documents and the AT&T SVR3 (grey manuals with UNIX earth and trace lines) set.
That represents one of the holes in my System V documentation archival efforts actually,
I've got just about the full blue SVR4 set as well as the full SVR1 set, but have
avoided SVR2 and 3 since there's just such a diversity of documentation in that
timeframe and I need to work through some of my other scan jobs before searching around
for those. However, if you've already got them and are offering them precisely for
preservation reasons, then our interests here line up pretty well.
Also, looking through your list, you've also got Organick's Multics book.
I'd love a copy of that for selfish reasons, so if you still have that by March.
Could probably find it on eBay but I'd love supporting another TUHS member.
I'd say if it all lines up that you still have the USENIX stuff, any AT&T/Bell
literature, and the Multics book by the first couple weeks of March, let's circle
back around and talk. Otherwise, if someone jumps on this for preservation purposes
before, I'll gladly contribute to the funds if it means this stuff gets scanned and
archived (and I don't have to be the one to do it :P)

Having recently emeritated, I'm clearing out my
university office and giving away hundreds of books. It occurs to me that some of them may
be of interest to some of the folks on this list. (Before you ask, no, you can't have
my original printed-on-Kleenex versions of the Lions notes...)
Most of the books are listed here:
https://www.librarything.com/catalog/james.frew .
They're (alas) utterly uncategorized, but include a fair amount of UNIX, C, and
general CS stuff.
I also have some manuals and USENIX conference proceedings even LibraryThing
couldn't locate; they're listed in the attached Markdown file. None of these
proceedings are online at
usenix.org, so I'd be stoked if someone volunteered to scan
them.
If you want any of them, let me know, and we'll figure out some way to reimburse me
for shipping them. (No charge for the "content".) Or if you're close enough
to Santa Barbara, come and get 'em.
