25 Years: How the Web began
http://www.zdnet.com/article/25-years-how-the-web-began/

First webserver in US was on (CERN sister lab) SLAC VM370 system
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/earlyweb/history.shtml
and
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/earlyweb/firstpages.shtml

trivia: GML was invented at science center in 1969, a decade later it
morphs into ISO standard SGML, and after another decade it morphs into
HTML at CERN. some past posts

and science center

We were working with NSF director to interconnect the NSF supercomputer
labs and were suppose to get $20M. Then congress cuts the budget, some
number of other things happen, and finally NSF releases an RFP (based
largely on what we already have running). Internal politics prevent us
from bidding. The NSF director tries to help by writing the company a
letter copying the CEO, but that just makes the internal politics
worse. As regional networks connect into the sites, it morphs into the
NSFNET backbone (precursor to the modern internet). some old email
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#nsfnet

During part of this, the communication group was spreading internal
misinformation about how they might be able to play.  Somebody collects
a lot of their email and forwards it to us ... small part, heavily
snipped and redacted to protect the guilty:
