Collection management, 1920-1990, undated
Scope and Contents
A significant amount of the 2012 accrued material necessitated the creation of this subseries (and the elimination of the "Storage and Installation" subseries assigned in the 2004 processing). The additional material allows for a more expansive understanding of the issues involved in managing the Johnson Collection. These issues are broadly identified by sub-subseries; namely, inventories (both Court-mandated and internal), legal proceedings and disposition. The latter documents collection relocation, installation and storage, as well as deaccessions. Files of more general collection management issues, which were processed in 2004 comprise the "Miscellany" sub-subseries.
