The accession contains audiovisual and sound recordings of performances, rehearsals, galas, and other events, of Canadian and international tours, and of interviews relating to the Anna Wyman Dance Theatre.

The set of records is complemented by certificates and awards received by Anna Wyman during her lifetime (several are framed) as well as a small quantity of choreographic and personal notes written by Wyman, as well as a few family photos.
