content: Project files include professional files and files documenting projects and commissions. Files may contain project proposals, correspondence, printed and digital material, applications, contracts, research notes, invoices, receipts, notebooks, sketches, plans, organizational records, and  photographic material. Three multi-year projects are extensively documented, including Miami Metamorphosis mural, Riverwalk Gateway mural, and the Hiawatha Rail Line mural. Material relates to all stages of the project, from planning and research, communicating logistics, project execution, and dedication ceremonies. This series also contains professional files relating to organizations Lanyon was involved with and to panels and journal issues she moderated or edited. Lanyon's illustration work for publication and the production of several artist's books are also documented here. 

Sound recordings relating to the "Gold Lady" panel and the "Satire" issue of Heresies are on four sound cassettes. Video recordings of the Riverwalk Gateway mural dedication and the documentary Hairy Who and the Chicago Imagists are on one videocassette (VHS) and in digital format. Other digital materials relate to applications, commissions, a film project, and Lanyon's work for the National Academy of Design.
