If you enjoy reading documents, BITSAVERS.ORG is a treasure mine full of lost knowledge.

https://archive.org/details/bitsavers

Here you will find Xerox PARC, DEC, Burroughs, Apple, Sun, Borland,... old research documents, papers, manuals.

In the context of static compilation, for example in MS-DOS, take Turbo Pascal 6.0 programmer's guide.

For some 8 bit love you can check ZX Spectrum and Atari archives.

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/

http://www.atariarchives.org/

Next step is to get an emulator for any of those old OS/computers and try to follow along one of those books.

Also there are some videos on YouTube showing those systems.
