I am now the proprietor of the Newton Museum, which someday will provide better web access to the collection.

Here are some articles and papers about Newton OS written by various members of the Newton team.

• Class-based NewtonScript Programming, an article for PIE Developers magazine describing a technique for structuring a NewtonScript program using class-like objects.
• An introduction for a reprint of Ungar and Smith’s paper Self: the power of simplicity in PIE Developers magazine.
• A Model for Address-Based Software and Hardware, a paper presented at the 1992 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. Gives the underlying principles of Newton OS kernel memory interfaces, and the rationale for the ARM processor’s unusual MMU design.
• The Newton Application Architecture, a paper presented at the 1994 IEEE Computer Conference.
• The Newton Operating System, a paper presented at the 1994 IEEE Computer Conference.
• Low Power Hardware for a High Performance PDA, a paper presented at the 1994 IEEE Computer Conference.
• Using a prototype-based language for user interface programming: the Newton project’s experience, a paper presented at OOPSLA ‘95.
