Background

Content Summary:

The collection consists of Dr Johnson's personal research papers, photographs and slides relating to scientific and historical studies of the active volcanoes of Papua New Guinea from 1969 to 2016. The papers consist of letters, notes, reports, and maps, together with colour and black-and white prints, negatives, colour transparencies (both 35 mm and 60 mm), 35 mm lecture slides and some CDs (which comprise copies of some items from the collection). The collection also documents the work of other volcanologists including Dr N.H. Fisher, G.A.M. Taylor, M.A. Reynolds, R.J.S. Cooke and Dr Takashi Kizawa.

Collection Retrieval Advice:

Use of photographic negatives: for preservation reasons, in the first instance readers should refer to the prints or copies rather than the original negatives. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis for readers wanting to access the negatives, but please note that this requires 48 hours’ notice for retrieval.

Arrangement:

The arrangement of the collection is based on Dr Johnson's arrangement of material into 23 separate sub-collections.
