Max Heller: Weaving Life Into Greenville
Max Heller has been described as a humanitarian, philanthropist, beloved citizen, visionary, and the conscience of Greenville, among many other flattering descriptions. In 2009, he deposited the first installment of his personal collection with Special Collections and Archives at Furman University. This collection has been processed and is available for the public to view. The contents of this collection include mayoral, congressional and gubernatorial campaign materials, South Carolina State Development Board materials, and a history of the development of Greenville through magazine and newspaper articles. A more complete inventory is available on Special Collections and Archives’ web site:

Earlier this year, Mr. Heller’s family donated an additional fifteen boxes of materials to Special Collections and Archives. An inventory for this accretion should be available this summer and will be posted on the Special Collections and Archives website.
