I like scanning and putting up interlibrary stuff on Internet Archive.
This is the first one I got. Not sure yet if it’s going to help with the HTML bracket investigation, but maybe it’ll help someone else! https://archive.org/details/gca-standard-101-1983

Believe it or not, I’m still figuring out where HTML got its angle brackets.
But despite grabbing a lot of interlibrary items, I am not sure I’m getting any closer. I still have some ideas, but one involves going to a museum in Maine, which might take a while.
However, good news (for someone?): There are now over 40 papers and books I scanned that deal with history of markup. Enjoy!
