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

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:

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

Dear Polina, Joly, Christian and AoIR colleagues, I've added an online fascinating Globetrotter video interview (with transcript) with UC Berkeley professor Manuel Castells - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GBB7U5mv0w - to the open free online course and syllabus I'm beginning to teach here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html . Next week this course will begin on Saturdays from 11am-1 pm Pacific Time (California time), in the first hour in Google + group video Hangouts from here - https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts - and in the second hour on Harvard's virtual island in Second Life both for interactivity and conversation (in English and this open online course is also for people learning English). I've added other talks in video I've given about this social history of the internet this course and syllabus web page too. Thanks to Jessika Tremblay's recent AoIR thread about IT films too. (Hi Jessika! She was in this course while doing her field work from Indonesia a few years ago!). I hope to make all media resources/readings for this course have a central video component too. Manuel's video above is the first resource. I've also posted many more readings relating to the social history of the internet in my syllabus above, Joly. Researchers here are welcome to join this course. Best, Scott On Sat, Sep 12, 2015 at 1:59 PM, Polina Kolozaridi < poli.kolozaridi@gmail.com> wrote:

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 Collegues:Don't forget Tom Boellstorff' contemporary classic Coming of Age in Second LIfe. An Anthropologist Explores the Virtual Human. It is an inspired book with a second chapter dedicated to the History of the Virtual milieu. Regards.

Next week this course will begin on Saturdays from 11am-1 pm Pacific Time (California time), in the first hour in Google + group video Hangouts from here - https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts - and in the second hour on Harvard's virtual island in Second Life both for interactivity and conversation (in English and this open online course is also for people learning English). I've added other talks in video I've given about this social history of the internet this course and syllabus web page too. Thanks to Jessika Tremblay's recent AoIR thread about IT films too. (Hi Jessika! She was in this course while doing her field work from Indonesia a few years ago!). I hope to make all media resources/readings for this course have a central video component too. Manuel's video above is the first resource. I've also posted many more readings relating to the social history of the internet in my syllabus above, Joly. Researchers here are welcome to join this course. Best, Scott On Sat, Sep 12, 2015 at 1:59 PM, Polina Kolozaridi < poli.kolozaridi@gmail.com> wrote:

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.)
