the Sander Levin archive 
will be a crucial resource 
for anyone attempting 
to understand American 
politics and policy in the 
last 40 years.”
Indeed, McDonald’
s 
opinion was reinforced by 
each of the speakers at the 
event. U-M President Mark 
Schlissel pointed out the 
importance of archiving the 
records of people who shape 
our society, and how archives 
fit into the research mission 
at U-M. Michael Barr, dean 
of the Ford School, told the 
audience how pleased he 
and Ford School students 
were to have someone with 
Levin’
s experience and 
knowledge on the faculty. 
Professor Susan Collins 
spoke about co-teaching a 
class with Levin, and how 
his experience with trade 
issues was invaluable for the 
students. 

Numerous members of 
the Levin family attended 
the event including Sander’
s 
wife, Pamela, Sen. Carl Levin 
and Sandy Levin’
s son and 
current U.S. Congressman 
Andy Levin. Carl Levin 
also took the podium to 
tell a few stories and praise 
the character of his older 
brother.
There is still a lot of work 
to do to process Levin’
s 
collection and open it for 
research several years from 
now. But his legacy is now 
preserved, and researchers 
in the future will reap the 
benefits of the Sander Levin 
Collection. 

Mike Smith is the Alene and 
Graham Landau Archivist Chair 
for the Detroit Jewish News 
Foundation. He also was the 
archivist who collected the Levin 
papers for the Bentley Historical 
Library.

“It is fi
 tting that mine and Carl’s 
archives now reside 
in Michigan, where we 
built our careers.”
