Hi Jake
I would be happy to add things that belong to the museum to the
bibliography. There are a lot of things that I find on the internet
which I am not yet sure are relevant, so it would be helpful to see
things which are. Certainly they can be cited. It is possible that
they could be scanned, or that I might be able to locate someone who has
already scanned them.
I will contact you when I get back to arrange a time with you. (01)

Subject: Re: [nls-restore] CHM SCC web pages on NLS project (03)
I have been somewhat incognito due to the illness and death of a close
friend, and various trips. However, I have been reading the email. I
just looked at the web page and it looks great! (04)
A couple of things: (05)
I have a 7-track tape that is quite old, but the can has never been
opened. This tape has the entire index to the old journal system and to
the collection that was known as XDoc. We have pieced together most of
the old Xdoc collection in hardcopy. For those who don't know what Xdoc
was, it was all the items collected by ARC and the NIC that were not
generated online. The NIC collection was made up of the ARC Journal
(online) and Xdoc (offline hardcopy). It is an eclectic collection of
all sorts of articles, reports, correspondence, and the like and gives
an impressive view of what was happening in computer research and
networking at the time (covers time frame from approx.
1965-1980). (06)
Does anyone have access to a 7-track tape reader? Assuming that we can
find a reader and that the tape is readable, can this material be fit
into the version of NLS on which the group is working? (07)
Also, if Kathe would like to get together with me at some time after her
vacation, there may be items in the museum's SRI-NIC collection that are
not contained in her bibliography. For instance, there are many NLS
manuals in the SRI-NIC collection which could be cited and/or scanned. (08)
Regards, (09)
