Hello Polina,
Other folks have already suggested some key works so here are just a few additional resources that I've found useful.
The latest issue of Information & Culture is a special issue on internet histories. The articles are not open access (yet) but the abstracts are on the website. Please let me know if you can't find copies of the articles you need: * http://www.infoculturejournal.org/abstracts
SIGCIS, a special interest group of the Society for the History of Technology concerned with the history of computing maintains collections of syllabi and other resources on their website: * SIGCIS Syllabus Repository, http://www.sigcis.org/syllabi * SIGCIS History Resources, http://www.sigcis.org/resources
The BBS documentary is an incredibly thorough series by Jason Scott (proprietor of textfiles.com) that focuses on early dial-up systems, mainly in North America: * https://archive.org/details/bbs_documentary
Relevant to the upcoming conference, I also wanted to shout out everyone that participated in the internet histories preconference organized by Gerard Goggin and Mark McLelland at IR14:
"Appropriating the Internet: Alternative & Comparative Histories" IR14, Denver, CO, USA, 2013
http://web.archive.org/web/20130831184519/http://ir14.aoir.org/preconference...
As for my own drop in the bucket, my dissertation was about the social
and
political implications of various internet histories. You may find the introduction useful as a complement to some of other resources: * Driscoll, Kevin. “Hobbyist Inter-Networking and the Popular Internet Imaginary: Forgotten Histories of Networked Personal Computing, 1978-1998.” Dissertation, University of Southern California, 2014.

.
Best of luck and please do keep us posted. It's always exciting to see historical work discussed on AIR-L!

(P.S. Apologies if you get two copies of this. It seems that the first one didn't go through to the list.)

Dear all,
I am now writing a part of my dissertation about social history of the Internet and looking for some good sources on this subject (or just history of the Internet).
Could you please suggest me some articles/books about it?
gratefully, Polina Kolozaridi *HSE Higher School of Economics, Moscow* *researcher, PhD candidate*
