{"value"=>"<p>The Administrative series dates from 1981 to 2015 and contains the Chorus' 25th Anniversary journal, budget projections, clippings, correspondence, newsletters, photographs, taped interviews and media appearances, and a small amount of personal photographs and awards related to concerts, recording projects, and tours by the Chorus that Miller organized while serving as music director. Programs from events hosted by the Gay Men's Health Crisis, Inc. and the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses (GALA Choruses) are also included. The series also holds a small amount of personal photographs which are held in the Gary Miller file.</p> <p>Correspondence with recording studios, with the organizers of the Gay Games, and members of the Chorus' board are present. Miller is the author of the majority of these letters. Budget items cover the proposed and actual budgets for European tours and concerts.</p> <p>Miller collected news clippings, photographs, and other ephemera related to each season from 1982 to 1987 in annual scrapbooks. These scrapbooks, which typically begin with the annual Christmas concert, contain concert announcements, reviews, candid photographs from rehearsals and retreats, and letters of support from community members.</p> <p>Miller's subject file also includes professional and civic recognition of his work with the Chorus. The New York City Council twice recognized Miller's contributions to LGBT+ culture and community with separate proclamations. The first is an undated proclamation from C. Virginia Fields, Borough President of Manhattan; the second is signed by Councilmember Thomas K. Duane, and declared May 7, 1998 to be \"Maestro Miller Day.\" Two copies of Miller's keynote address to the 1998 GALA Chorus Leadership Conference are also included.</p> <p>Of particular note is the full run of the Chorus' newsletter, <span class=\"title\">Chorus Lines</span>, dated from 1982 to 1993. Each issue contains letters from Miller, articles of interest from other publications, reviews about Chorus concerts, letters from former or sick Chorus members, a monthly calendar, photographs, and cartoons.</p>"}
