Not so much "history" per se, but you might be interested in Paul
Wilson's fairly comprehensive survey of GC techniques: circa 1992 [the
PDFs aren't from Wilson AFAIK, but seem to be accurate AFAICT]:

    ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/garbage/gcsurvey.ps
      http://www.cs.rit.edu/~swm/cs800/gcsurvey.pdf
      http://www.maths.lse.ac.uk/Courses/MA407/gcsurvey.pdf

This is a very expanded version of the above circa 1994:
