Unearthed UNIX Talk by Ken Thompson at UCB, 1975

Some really cool history has been contributed to TUHS, a series of recordings of a UNIX kernel seminar given by Ken Thompson at Berkeley around 1975. For those unaware, Ken Thompson is one of the inventors of UNIX, much of the earliest system derives from his own work on making a PDP-7 a more desirable programming target at Bell Laboratories in the late 60s. UC Berkeley is then the origin of the BSD branch which is the primary UNIX in use today tracing lineage back to the work of Ken and others at Bell Labs. In many ways this represents a peek into the early gestation environment of BSD as well as just early UNIX history in general.

I'm so glad folks manage to keep stuff like this around, I'm excited to give the tapes a listen over the coming weeks.
