  Lots of them. All research of Interlisp-D, Smalltalk and Mesa/Cedar at Xerox PARC: https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_xerox https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_xerox Stéphane Ducasse also maintains the original Smalltalk manuals on his legacy books: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html Oberon at ETHZ: http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/books.html http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/books.html If you want to see how the latest incarnation of Oberon used to look like: http://www.progtools.org/article.php?name=oberon&section=compilers&type=tutorial http://www.progtools.org/article.php?name=oberon&section=com... For Modula-3 it is a bit harder, because of DEC/Olivetti being acquired by Compaq, which was then acquired by HP. So lots of sites are full with broken links. So the older books are a better source than the Internet. But still you can get some info here: http://www.modula3.org/ http://www.modula3.org/ http://ftp.labs.hp.com/ftp/pub/dec/SRC/ http://ftp.labs.hp.com/ftp/pub/dec/SRC/ http://www-spin.cs.washington.edu/ http://www-spin.cs.washington.edu/ Burroughs overview: http://www.smecc.org/The%20Architecture%20%20of%20the%20Burroughs%20B-5000.htm http://www.smecc.org/The%20Architecture%20%20of%20the%20Burr... It lives on as Unisys MCP mainframes. There are some more informations when searching for it. Algol-68RS used at Royal Navy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68RS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68RS This is just a small taste. If one cares about history of computing there are lots of other resources scattered around the web and libraries.
