Max Frisch Archiv, Literary archive at ETH Library, Zürich, Switzerland.

The Max Frisch Archive is a literary archive at ETH Library housing an extensive collection of materials from the Swiss author. It contains manuscripts, letters, photographs, and personal papers that reveal the details of his life and creative work.

The Max Frisch Foundation was set up in 1979 by Frisch, his publisher Siegfried Unseld and trustees Peter Bichsel, Adolf Muschg and Peter von Matt, who resolved to create an archive in Switzerland as a place of research. The archive opened in 1980 at ETH Zurich's German department, with Walter Obschlager as first archivist from 1981; it has been public since April 1983 and moved to ETH Library in April 2004.

The collection shows how Frisch's works were read in many languages and reached people across the world. Visitors can see how different cultures received his books and made them their own through various translations and editions.

Access to the main collection requires advance booking, though exhibitions are open on weekdays during standard daytime hours. Planning your visit ahead will help you see the specific materials you are interested in.

Beyond traditional documents, the collection includes a significant photography collection and digital media that show Frisch's work from different angles. These various materials give visitors a more complete picture of how the author worked and thought.
