Let M be a compact smooth Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We establish the existence of an asymptotic series for the heat content of M with a perfect conducting boundary and show that the coefficients in the series are non-local invariants which are recursively determined by the coefficients for the series with corresponding zero Dirichlet boundary condition.
