THE NOAM CHOMSKY ARCHIVE
Introduction
Noam Chomsky is an Institute Professor and Professor of
Linguisticsand Philosophy at MIT, where he has revolutionized
linguistics twicesince the fifties. He is also one of the most
prominent dissidentswriting in the United States today, a severe,
impassioned andconsistent critic of US foreign policy.
The Noam Chomsky Archive is a public collection of files
(articles,interviews, lectures, reviews, etc.) by and about Noam
Chomsky. (Atthe moment it only contains ``political'' material; the
science halfof his work is not represented.) I have collected
everything that Iwas able to find that was publicly electronically
available, editedit, (began to) cross-reference it, and basically
made it easy to get,read, and print. Now here it is, all in one
place.
CONTENTS
articles/ Essays and articles by Noam Chomskyinterviews/
Published or transcribed interviews with Noam Chomskylectures/
Published or transcribed lectures by Noam Chomskyquotes/ Excerpts
from larger works and sound bites by Noam Chomskyreviews/ Reviews,
commentaries, or summaries of works by Noam Chomskyetc/
Miscellaneous files (bibliographies, images, etc.)
Please keep the headers attached to these files if you
distribute themso that others can find out about the Archive.
HOW TO ACCESS THE ARCHIVE
1. via the World Wide Web. If you have a browser, it is
muchfriendlier to access the Archive at
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu:/usr/tp0x/chomsky.html
2. via anonymous ftp. If you would rather ftp to the
Archivedirectly, you can
ftp ftp.cs.cmu.edu
log in as ``anonymous'' or ``ftp''; then send your address
(e.g.,[email protected]) as the password. Then
cd user/cap/chomsky
(note that there is no slash at then beginning of the
pathname).From there, use the ftp commands ls, cd, and get.
3. via afs. Users with afs access can
cd /afs/andrew/usr/tp0x/chomsky/

CONTRIBUTING TO THE ARCHIVE
I know that this collection is far from complete. If you have
access
to a file that is not included, please email it to me. There are
aheap of errors and omissions that I know about; many more are
certainto be there. If you catch even a minor one, PLEASE contact
me at theaddress below.
HELPING WITH ARCHIVE MAINTENANCE
As usual, I bit off more than I could chew with this project. If
youwould like to help with some of the dogwork involved, especially
ifyou have experience with proofreading or hacking LaTeX, please
get intouch with me at the address below.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

especially toHarel Barzilai, co-moderator of
misc.activism.progressive, and TomGray of Peacenet for immeasurable
help. Tom Price and Amy Cooperkindly contributed computer
resources; Chris Paris provided computerresources and boundless
expertise and patience.
REAL SOON NOW
Some improvements soon to come:
1. conversion of more files to LaTeX, PostScript (and maybe
other) formats2. more consistent and thorough keywords and
cross-references3. a million more ideas I'm sure I'll have
I will make announcements (among other channels)
toalt.fan.noam-chomsky and misc.activism.progressive (both
recommended).Meantime, do please send along any ideas . . . as well
as yoursuggestions or comments. I would very much appreciate any
