The personal archive of the linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky will go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries, the university announced today. Mr. Chomsky is an emeritus professor there. The collection includes his personal papers and portions of his library. It “will be a complete archival resource that will provide researchers with unique insight into Professor Chomsky’s thinking, and the development of the field of linguistics, as well as his views on significant issues in social activism from post-World War II” through the present, said Tom Rosko, MIT archivist, in a statement announcing the acquisition.
