Leslie Harris has a good introduction to MUDs & MOOs, which if I remember correctly, also includes a history. The URL I have for it is as follows:

http://www.susqu.edu/facstaff/h/1harris/mudsmoos.html

And an essay by Pavel Curtis (of LAMBDA fame), "Mudding: Social Phenomena in Text-Based Virtual Reality," is available (at least it was last year) at this URL:

http://www.village.virginia.edu/00/related/NVR/DIAC92.txt

There are also a number of MOOS which are educational or research oriented that seem to do a lot of archiving:

Diversity University (telnet: moo.du.org 8888)

daMOO (telnet: lrc.csun.edu 7777)


For a pretty comprehensive list of MOOs, take a look at Kier's List o' MOOs:
