UNIXorigin is a hypothetical research initiative and digital archive focused on the origins and early development of the UNIX operating system. It aims to collect and preserve primary sources such as original source code, memos, manuals, and interview transcripts, and to provide scholarly context and timelines that illuminate how UNIX emerged at Bell Labs in the late 1960s and the work of researchers including Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie.
The scope of UNIXorigin includes the period from the project’s inception through the early evolution of UNIX
Content and access are organized around an archival repository of scanned documents, digitized source code, version
Impact and reception of UNIXorigin would lie in its ability to support historians, educators, and open-source
