Series Description

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this series contains printed materials collected by Max Tishler over the course of his career. A large majority of the files in this series contain materials that are either written about or make mention of Tishler. A small amount of materials written and published by Tishler himself are also found in these files.

The materials in this series provide significant documentation of Tishler’s career as it progressed. The files in this series also provide documentation of the activities of his longtime employer Merck and Company, Incorporated. To a limited extent, scientific research conducted by Tishler is documented in this series. A handful of subjects of interest to Tishler, both scientific and non-scientific, are represented in this series as well.

Periodicals, copies of newspaper articles, and magazine articles constitute a large majority of the materials found the Printed Materials series. Article reprints, miscellaneous publications printed by Merck and Company, and a few miscellaneous catalogs and brochures are preserved in this series as well.
