Series 2: Correspondence, 1927-2009
5.5 Linear feet
Boxes 3-7, 60

Correspondence is a mix of personal and professional and includes many carbon copies of Johnson's letters. There are holiday cards to Johnson from artists (some handmade), personal correspondence, and general professional correspondence. Named correspondence files are found for David Sauders (many illustrated), Jette Stoltz, Elva Weber, Chloe Hamilton Young, Britta and Nisse Zetterberg, Athena Tacha, and concerning the Ossabaw Island Artists' Colony for which she served as an advisor.
General professional correspondence is with Claes Oldenburg, Joe & Margaret Cantieni, the American Scandinavian Foundation, Jack Tworkov, and Robert Venturi, among others. A folder of Johnson-selected correspondence for the Archives of American Art includes letters from Stieglitz, Wendell Wilkie, Carl Milles, Jim Dine, and Alexander Archipenko. There is a folder of correspondence about Oberlin's art rental program, including Johnson's inaugural memo. Additional subjects include letters of recommendation, children's drawings, tax returns, artworks, galleries, books, and exhibitions. Some correspondence files also contain brochures, clippings, and photographs. A small amount of correspondence is in Swedish.
Additional correspondence with artists can be found in the artists' files in Series 7. The bulk of Johnson's correspondence remains in other series, such as writing and research project files, teaching files, and professional and curatorial files.
Correspondence is arranged into groupings for holiday cards, personal and general correspondence, and named correspondence. General correspondence is arranged into chronological groupings and alphabetized within each grouping.

Series 6: Professional and Curatorial Files, 1936-1991
6 Linear feet
Boxes 32-37, 56

Professional and curatorial files focus primarily on Johnson's work as a curator at Allen Memorial Art Museum and as a consultant and advisor for various art-related committees and events. Some of the exhibition related files contain writings and articles. There is extensive documentation of her curatorial work on the India Triennale, circa 1968 and "Three Young Americans", also in 1968. Also arranged here are her continuing education files from courses and conferences she attended, such as the Baldwin Lecture Series and courses at other colleges and universities. Materials documenting Johnson's grants and fellowships are arranged here as are her Oberlin College employment-related files.
Users should note that most of Johnson's work with the Ossabaw Artist's Colony is referenced in the general chronological correspondence in Series 2.
Arranged alphabetically by subject.
