The General Semantics Bulletin

M. Kendig, Education Director for the Institute of General Semantics from its inception in 1938, began publication of the General Semantics Bulletin in 1949. The Bulletin is considered the Institute's annual 'yearbook.'

In Spring 2003, the Institute digitally scanned the entire catalog of the Bulletin into Adobe's portable document format (PDF). The collection is now available for purchase on CDROM - click here.

We offer here a fine selection of over 80 articles from the first 53 years of the Bulletin. Full color cover images for No. 1 through 70 are available here.

We're also pleased to provide a Master Index for the entire catalog of the Bulletin through Number 64. This is available in either HTML format (gsbindex.html) or PDF (gsbindex.pdf).
