    You will find a list of links to papers by Doug Engelbart at
    http://www.bootstrap.org/institute/bibliography.html

    You will find links to press articles at
    http://www.bootstrap.org/chronicle/press/press.html
    I happen to find these two interesting:
    http://www.bootstrap.org/chronicle/press/tiaobrian/index.html
    http://www.bootstrap.org/chronicle/press/9908__/dougengelbart_phtml.html

    And you may find especially interesting the book "Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Co-evolution, and the Origins of Personal
    Computing" by sociologist Prof. Thierry Bardini. It is published by Stanford University Press (2000) and costs $20 for the
    paperback.
