The Center’s Archive contains materials spanning the full length of Kripke’s career and representing the complete range of his scholarly interests. Our materials include, among much else:

1. Digital audio produced from the original reel-to-reel tape recordings of the Naming and Necessity lectures given by Kripke at Princeton University on January 20-29, 1970.
2. Transcripts of three lectures on truth that Kripke delivered at Princeton University on June 3-6, 1975, which constitute a longer version of his seminal paper, “Outline of a Theory of Truth.”
3. Transcripts of lectures given by Kripke on “Time and Identity” at Princeton University in Fall 1978.
4. “Lessons on Functionalism and Automata,” an address given at the Wittgenstein Symposium in Kirchberg-am-Wechsel on August 23, 1984.
5. Correspondence going back to the 1950s between Kripke and other distinguished logicians and philosophers including Alan R. Anderson, Alonzo Church, David K. Lewis, Arthur N. Prior, and Timothy Smiley.
