You will probably like this paper:

Kay, A. C., (1993), The early history of Smalltalk, ACM Sigplan Notices,
28, 69-95.

Pygmalion, the first demonstrational programming system, was written in
St-76. It was then the largest program ever written in Smalltalk. It is
completely listed in this book:

Smith, D. C., (1977), Pygmalion: A Computer Program to Model and Stimulate
Creative Thought, Birkhauser Verlag, Basel, Switzerland.
