The Trotsky Internet Archive (TIA) hopes to be central clearing house for Trotskys writings.
We encourage others to duplicate this effort by mirroring this site, copying selected writings from the TIA and otherwise disseminating Trotskys writings. Many of Trotskys writings remains to be translated from the original Russian. Many of these writings are still buried in the archives of the Russian KGB. Still others reside in various university archives such as the Trotsky Works at Harvard.
We hope to offer, eventually, ALL these writings in as many languages as possible. This will require the efforts of dozens of volunteer transcribers, translators, etc. To be part of this effort write the Administrator of the Trotsky Internet Archive.
