The SVN repository history is on line, and begins October 2001:

  http://squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/squeak/trunk/platforms/Cross/vm/sqVirtualMachine.h?revision=2&view=markup

Prior to that the support code was hosted on sourceforge.com. I don't
know if any copy of that repository still exists, and I don't know when
it first became publicly available. Some of that history may be lost.

The Smalltalk sources were first put on squeaksource.org in 2004 (MMMaker-tpr.2).

As far as I know, the main gap in this historical record would probably be
the sourceforge history.
