Photograph requests and other queries, 1973-1980

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

Most of this correspondence consists of photograph requests from publishers, art historians and students requesting images of objects in the Johnson Collection or permission to publish. There is also some outgoing correspondence by Johnson curatorial staff seeking images of objects related to those in the Johnson collection. Other queries seek information about Johnson Collection objects and library collection or request collection catalogues. Photograph requests and other queries were maintained separately until 1980. After that, such correspondence was filed with the general papers.
