It curates the literary legacy of Swiss author Max Frisch and is available for academic, journalistic and artistic research.
[1] Together with his publisher Siegfried Unseld and the other members of the Board of Trustees (Peter Bichsel, Adolf Muschg and Peter von Matt), Frisch decided to "create a Max Frisch Archive to be located in Switzerland as a place of research".
[3] The Max Frisch Archive was established in the Department of German Language and Literature at ETH Zurich in 1980.
An extensive collection of newspaper and magazine articles, photographs, film recordings, theatre posters and programmes documents the international resonance and reception of his work.
Hence, the Max Frisch Archive serves as a main source for literary studies and commentaries in the field.
