The collection is divided into several distinct components. Box 1 consists of event programs for all of the group’s performances which are filed chronologically in 79 folders. Box 2 consists of assorted promotional materials, event memorabilia as well as a large number of correspondences, primarily letters and cards of support and congratulation to Dr. Hansen. Also included are copies of legal documents regarding the group’s application for non-profit status, group by-laws, and a mission statement. The audio-visual component of the collection consists of 3 audio cassette tapes and 48 DVDs of group performances as well as one VHS tape.
