Series
Comprises a thorough record of courses taught by Landin for the department of computer science at Queen Mary University of London (formerly known as Queen Mary College, or, QMC, until 1989).

- Programming Languages, which was superseded by Programming I in academic year 1978-1979 as an experiment in teaching programming to undergraduates a different way
- Programming I-II
- Applied Algebra
- some courses for the MSc in Advanced Computing introduced at Queen Mary University of London later in Landin's career, including Elements of Computing and Programming Language Principles.
The series is comprised of the following papers, relating to the above courses:
- Lecture notes written and typed by Landin, including drafts, annotated editions, originals and masters
- Chapters for courses, including handwritten drafts, edits and collations for different academic years
- Tutorial plans
