Sub-series Description

Arranged alphabetically by format and by subject, this sub-series contains Max Tishler’s slide and transparency collection. A large majority of the images in this sub-series were either created by Tishler himself or prepared for him by Wesleyan University staff. A small number of images created by Merck and Company, Incorporated are also found here. Many of the slides in this sub-series were used by Tishler in his classroom and conference presentations.

Slides concerning scientific research conducted by Tishler make up the bulk of this sub-series, which include, but are not limited to, those of chemical equations, graphs, and slide show text and illustrations. A few slides pertaining to Alexander Fleming and the development of penicillin, and a few slides of flowers are also found in this sub-series. A handful of slides of Merck and Company facilities and two transparencies of a portrait painting of Max Tishler are found here as well.
