Sigh -- they keep changing the rules. I think you have to have a free ACM account. If you send me an email (see my home page in my profile), I'll send you a PDF.

The link dump includes scans of the source code and a link to this free-to-read paper on the history of the Lisp 2 project: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8267589 (I’m the author).

And here's an English translation of the History chapter from Stoyan's 1980 book _LISP-Anwendungsgebiete, Grundbegriffe, Geschichte_ [LISP Application, Basic Concepts, History]: https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/LISP/book/S...

Here are some bibliographies, including an extensive (but old) one by Herbert Stoyan. Apologies for the rough formatting of them: https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/LISP/resour...

And it's worth pointing out here that the book itself is now freely available: https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.5555/542865

There's currently no way other than crawling the web site. The HTML and PDF files are intermingled with the original files.

(I'm the author of the blog post, walkthrough, and archive.)

At the end of the article are two links: https://xeroxalto.computerhistory.org/index.html https://xeroxalto.computerhistory.org/xerox_alto_file_system...

The first is the actual archive; the second is a "walkthrough" with pointers to various interesting things.
