You're looking for things like programming info then, in order to see 
how it is used, and names of instructions and so?

Chapter 3 of 
http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/dec/pdp8/handbooks/MinicomputerHandbook_1976.pdf 
might be enough.

If you want more internal details, 
http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/dec/pdp8/pdp8a/EK-FPP8A-OP-001_FPP8-A_UsersMan_Dec76.pdf 
might be good. Check that whole directory, and you'll find more 
documentation as well.
