The Ayn Rand Institute: The Center for
the Advancement of Objectivism has its own website (by the same name), which
is flagship of the official Objectivist
movement on the internet. The mission of the Ayn
Rand Institute is to promote the spread of Ayn Rand's ideas, and ultimately, of
the philosophy of Objectivism. ARI's website includes announcements of importance
to the Objectivist movement, biographical material on Ayn Rand, samples of Ayn Rand's
writing,a brief explanation of each of the branches of the philosophy of Objectivism,
a brief synopsis of the impact of Objectivism (e.g., in one survey, when asked which
book made a difference in their lives, the leading response was the bible; after that
came Atlas Shrugged), with a special focus on how the Ayn Rand Institute has
taken an active role in making this impact possible.

the Ayn Rand Institute. Here you will find a wealth of resources and links.

is a website run by NationWeb, Inc.,

The Objectivist Trade Center - Community Groups), and, in smaller
part, to suppliers of products of special interest to members of the Objectivist
movement.
