Where do I look for history of multimedia?

To write about the history of multimedia, you'll need to synthesize (mashup) information from various sources.

Begin by reading overview articles.  Also, think about what you know about various types of multimedia over history.  (micro-computers, smartphones, gaming, digital design, tablets, etc.)
