Series I contains files documenting Runyon's court cases against Columbia, her other interactions with the university, and her tenant organizing in Morningside Heights. It includes correspondence with Columbia administrators, legal documents, records of her properties and minutes, handwritten notes, and flyers from a number of tenant organizations. Many of the files relate to Morningside Tenants Committee, which Runyon started with other residents of 130 Morningside Drive to protest the takeover of the building by the Columbia College of Pharmacy, and which continued its activism against University expansion in the neighborhood after the building was bought by Columbia. Other tenant associations and organizations documented in the series include: Columbia Tenants Union, Morningside "Open-Stairs" Tenants Association, the Institutional Tenants Union, and Morningside Renewal Council, among others. Other documents relate to individual tenants whom she helped bring cases to housing court or deal with other issues. There are two drawers of posters from protests of tenant associations against Columbia. This series also contains Runyon's files on the 1968 Columbia student protests, in which she participated and followed carefully.

Series II documents Runyon's professional work with various national organizations for which she was on staff in the 1960s-1980s. These include the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, the National Conference for New Politics, and the Committee to Defend the Panthers. Later files cover consultant work Runyon did for local groups in the 1990s and 2000s, mostly doing fundraising and other writing and editing. Her papers include correspondence, flyers, financial documentation, publications, and event materials from these organizations. There are also some publications, documents, newspaper clippings, and photographs from causes and events Runyon participated in, such as the March on Washington in 1963 and resistance to the Vietnam War.
Series III consists of papers from Runyon's two campaigns for assemblywoman and the two years she served in the legislature. Campaign materials include correspondence with supporters and donors and flyers or other publications. During her second run for office, which she lost in the primary, some of Runyon's former proponents campaigned against her, writing a list of accusations which is documented, along with Runyon's responses, in box 5. Her legislative files include memos and copies of bills on housing and prison control.
Series IV contains Runyon's records of work with three housing and education organizations in Harlem between the late 1980s and early 2000s: Emmaus House, Harlem Restoration Project, and the Harlem Council of Elders. While she helped to found the Harlem Restoration Project (HRP) and did a significant amount of work there, her records on HRP currently only comprise two files. There are more documents related to Emmaus House and the Harlem Council of Elders, including correspondence with other staff members and with supporters, event records, publications, and some financial documents.
Series V includes Runyon's personal correspondence as well as files she maintained on subjects not related to her work or tenant activism. In many of the letters, Runyon described her work and activism in the community in addition to more personal topics. Correspondence with Runyon's daughter Louise is filed under her nickname, Weezie. Besides correspondence with family and friends, the miscellaneous correspondence folders also contain Runyon's letters to local and national politicians in which she expressed her opinions about policies and current events. Series V further documents Runyon's attention to current events through newspaper and magazine clippings. Letters and event records cover Runyon's association with Berea College, churches, and the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies. Also included are maps, travel records from a trip to Berlin, and a book of recipe clippings.
