The Heartland Men’s Chorus Collection was a gift of Rick Fisher, Executive Director of the HMC, in March 2011. The collection is primarily comprised of concert programs and promotional materials. A nearly complete set of Heartland Men’s Chorus concert programs is contained in the collection, from the first concert in 1986 to June 2012. Along with these are invitations and programs for garden parties, and Dinners of Note, which were benefits for the Chorus. Also, a nearly complete set of promotional brochures and posters for all of the full concert seasons of the HMC is present in the collection as well, along with a couple promotional posters for Dinners of Note.
