Lionel,
Try 
http://www.cboe.com/tools/historical/vix.htm    for the data

You will find both VIX and VXN at that site.

You can find a bit of explanation at 
http://www.cboe.com/education/advanced.html#VIX

The VIX measures OEX (S&P100) volatility and the VXN
measures NASDAQ volatility. Intepretation is generally
high VIX (or VXN) indicates a market bottom, low VIX
indicates a market top.
