content: General correspondence includes both name and subject files and reflects the personal relationships Lanyon maintained, the artists she associated with, as well as exhibitions, projects, collaborations, publications, residencies, teaching appointments, and other professional activities she was involved with. Many of the letters are illustrated, especially those from Plunkett, whose mail art includes junk, ephemera, toys, and collages. While primarily letters received, occasional drafts, copies, and email printouts from Lanyon are also found here. The folders "American Academy of Arts and Letters" and "Jury Member and Panelist" contain corresponding electronic records.
