Some of you might be interested in a note from today's Tex Users
Group news:

    Nelson Beebe reports a recently uncovered large Bell Labs
    bibliography about Unix spanning 1972 to 1980.  It is
    available at https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/unix.bib.
    There is a SQLite3 version of the bibliography at
    https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/unix.db.  See
    https://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/talks/#2009 for the
    documentation of this format.

There are numerous references to nroff and troff in it.

Part of my interest in this comes from just having finished
Brian Kernighan's "Unix: A History and a Memoir", which
was thoroughly enjoyable to read. (Lots of good stories about
Doug McIlroy in it, as well.)
