Reliving Lisp History

Paul McJones continues to add new books to the History of Lisp website of the Computer History Museum.

After seeing the “FIELD TEST ASSEMBLY OF LISP 1.5 SEPTEMBER 1961” on the site, which is the collection of punch cards containing the IBM 7090 assembler source for Lisp 1.5, Pascal Bourguignon was inspired to extract the source and will hopefully soon be running it in an emulator.
