I don’t have much in the way of archives, but I worked there from 1984 to 1988. The best set of technical papers was the set presented at the Winter 1988 USENIX Conference in Dallas (disclaimer: I wrote one of them), and I probably have some PDFs of them stashed away. Those included papers about the X Window System, the changes to 4.3BSD, the Kerberos authentication system, the Hesiod name service, the Zephyr notification system, and the Moira service management system. There was also a paper on the Online Consulting system that (I think) appeared later. Also, the Associate Director of Athena from Digital Equipment, George Champine, wrote a book called "MIT Project Athena: Model for Distributed Campus Computing”. I’d be happy to answer any questions about the work at Athena from that time. Best, Win Treese treese at acm.org
