<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear All,<div><br></div><div>Misti and Tom's suggestion of Lewis's <i>The New, New Thing</i> (and Wired) came to mind first. Some other possibilities are the <i>San Jose Mercury News</i>, which I think has a historical digitized database going back to the mid 1980s or so. (Perhaps the historical databases of the newspaper articles of the <i>WSJ </i>and <i>NYT </i>also) The trade publications <i>Computerworld </i>and <i>Datamation </i>might be possibilities. In addition to Lewis's book which is detailed, other journalists wrote books on the Browser Wars, might be something in them on this. University of Illinois has tremendous Archives/Special Collections, that might be a place to check with as well. I don't know what they have on Mosaic and the commercialization of the work done at Illinois by Andreeson, Clark and Co. at Netscape,, but perhaps they have something.</div><div><br></div><div>At CBI we have grown our internet history archives greatly in recent years...Do not know what is in it but we have a bit on Netscape's early years in the Monash Collection and the Cortada Papers.
