I updated my version of R not realizing that several packages are not compatible. I'd like to go back to version 3.5.2 (for Mac), but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where to find old versions?

Whoever closed this question last year as a duplicate is in error ... it is NOT a duplicate, the answers linked are for Windows version and do not address the Mac builds. The page https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ is confusingly written and only adds as a note "in small font" the link to the folder with older builds. It took me a while to understand what is going on and find those older builds myself. For example, for El Capitan they are here https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/base/ – predmod Sep 15 '20 at 10:34

@predmod thanks for recognizing that! It's frustrating that there's no way to 'challenge' the duplicate question when someone flags it. I've had it happen a few times. – tnt Sep 16 '20 at 21:00

I was able to get version 3.5.2 by modifying the link to download the present version (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.6.1.pkg), with the version number I'm interested in (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.5.1.pkg). This started an automatic download.
