There is obviously no shortage of historic papers! Would anyone here
like to see me publish one or more volumes of these papers? I can
handle the production details, but I need a wish list of papers to
include and some help in contacting the owners of the articles.

Although USENIX is a conspicuous exception, many organizations and
institutions retain the rights to all material they publish. Thus, it
is not necessarily the case that the author(s) can give permission for
a piece to be included in an anthology. OTOH, if the author _wants_
the piece to be included, we have a fighting chance.
