The Library's summer opening hours are in place from Monday 23 December 2024 until Wednesday 1 January 2025 (inclusive). Before planning your visit, check our opening hours and temporary changes to collection access.
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.
