Heart House

Correspondence, memoranda, minutes, reports, printed materials, publications, photographs, audio tapes and recordings, electronic records, and memorabilia (43.6 linear feet; 1929-2008) document the many corporate activities of the American College of Cardiology. Produced by the American College of Cardiology's executive offices; i.e., its Board of Trustees, Executive Committee, and two Executive Directors, Dr. Philip Reichert and Mr. William Nelligan. While most of the material is concentrated in the period 1951-2008, corporate materials date from the College's founding in 1949; some ancillary material stretches back to the 1920s.

There is no separate collection of material for the Board of Governors, and very few documents for past presidents, prominent members, and major College programs. Material for these groups and topics, however, can sometimes be found among unrelated subgroups. Minutes and reports for the Board of Governors may be found interspersed within the Board of Trustee and Executive Committee Minutes. Papers for past presidents and prominent members, as well as documents and correspondence on major College programs such as Workshops, Journals, ACCEL, Encyclopedia of Cardiology, Electronmicroscopic Laboratory, and Bethesda Conferences may be found among the Papers of Philip Reichert and the Papers of William Nelligan.
