Fischer's University of Michigan papers contain a melange of information on the School of Business Administration, SACUA, and the Lecture Committee. Within the School of Business Administration, Fischer was director of a study on the military retirement system, and this is well documented in the collection.
Consulting projects comprise the bulk of the papers within the collection, documenting Fischer's involvement in international as well as domestic affairs. Of particular interest, his consulting work for the Hebrew University in Israel includes reminiscences of the political unrest occurring at that time. Also, Fischer was asked to serve a number of times as a consultant to the United States government.
The Professional organizations series documents Fischer's active participation with a variety of actuarial and mathematics groups. The Michigan Actuarial Society papers contain the founding constitution for the society, which Fischer in part drafted.
Throughout his career Fischer was invited to participate in conferences. The series-Conference Papers/Other Writings-includes a number of the lectures given at these meetings. The papers written by Fischer relay the importance of education within the actuarial field.
