F ew people have played a larger role in business, world poli- tics and community service than Max M. Fisher. His prominent leadership roles won him the title of the Dean of American Jewry. Without question, he was a great historic figure, not only of Detroit, but of the nation, Israel and the world. He was a trusted adviser to many U.S. presidents and, in his capacity as chairman of the United Jewish Appeal and later the Jewish Agency for Israel, he championed and defended Israel. Fisher also was meticulously orga- nized and maintained a remarkable library, worthy of public exhibition. Drawing upon his vast collection of photos, videos, articles, letters and personal correspondence, the Max M. Fisher Archives now offers a fascinat- ing interactive journey through his life and times at www.maxmfisher.org . The website, The Max M. Fisher Archives — The Story of a Respected Leader, The Legacy of a World Citizen, was designed and developed by Tim Songer and the creative team of Interactive Knowledge in Charlotte, N.C. It draws upon the documents in the archives; the manuscript of Peter Golden, author of The Quiet Diplomat, The Biography of Max Fisher; and comprehensive interviews conducted by John Owens of the Mort Crim Company in preparation for a full- length documentary about the life and times of Max M. Fisher. Consultation and archival assistance was provided by the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation, which funded the website as a private commission; the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit; and the Leonard N. Simons Jewish Community Archives.
