<p>Peter, have you tried looking for the source in the Internet Archive: <a href="https://archive.org/" target="_blank">https://archive.org/</a></p>

<div>That is a great idea, amazing they did not keep a digital copy. Did any of the previous versions ship source code that we could use as an archive?</div>

<br/>
a few weeks back I noticed that the sources of MOSS ("oldest open source GIS") were taken offline by BLM.<br/>
Others have noticed this earlier as the fact is mentioned on the Sol Katz award wikipage (<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sol_Katz_Award" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sol_Katz_Award</a>).<br/>
<br/>
In the meantime I contacted the library staff of BLM - they did not keep a digital copy of the MOSS sources.<br/>
<br/>
If the source code of MOSS should be recovered, I would like to propose to make MOSS a OSGeo "heritage" project or something similar, and to preserve the sources in an OSGeo-controlled software repo. At the very least, we could make sure to deposit the code in the Zenodo archive.<br/>
<br/>
In the meantime, I went ahead and created a wiki page with links to still existing MOSS-related documentation:<br/>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOSS" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOSS</a><br/>
<br/>
best,<br/>
Peter<br/>
<br/>
PS: If anyone of y'all should have a local copy of the MOSS repo, please speak up :-)<br/>
