W. Ross Ashby's card index.

Ross indexed the contents of his Journal using two card indexes that he kept in the green cabinet shown on the right.

This page contains the complete alphabetical index that is in the lower right-hand drawer, which contains 860 cards, with about 5,500 page references for 678 keywords. To search the index for particular words, you can either look at the primary keywords in the Keyword Cloud, or press Control-F to search through the entire index page, including all the primary and secondary level keywords. Otherwise just scroll down.

Other Index

References to the other index or the special collection refer to the cards that are in the lower left-hand drawer. This index is structured by categories. To view the other index, click here.


Keyword Cloud

The following cloud contains all 678 keywords, where the size of each keyword reflects how many page references it has in the index. Hovering the mouse over a keyword displays the exact number of page references the keyword has. Click a keyword to jump down to the corresponding index entry. If you want to concentrate on the most commonly indexed keywords, you can click the filtering links to control how many keywords are shown.
