The Johns Hopkins University has a large collection of Lanier materials. Cynthia Requardt, the Curator of Special Collections, has noted that many visitors are more interested in his music than his poetry. Joan Grattan (Manuscripts) has confirmed that the above selections represent the most important materials on Lanier. The index to these materials is online, at gopher://musicbox.mse.jhu.edu/ and more specifically at gopher://musicbox.mse.jhu.edu/00/mss/ms007.txt (as of 5 March 1998).
