I think your questions will be well answered by the journal: Annals of the
History of Computing.  Also, check the volume by Wexelblatt (sp?) about the
history of Programming Languages.  Another reference will be the 25th
Anniversary Issue of CACM (January 1983) that has some of the classic articles
in Computer Science.

Hope that helps.

p.s.:  My e-mail to you is bouncing right back even though I can finger on your
account.  Hence, I decided to post it.
